Served from a wax sealed bomber into a Hill Farmstead stemmed tulip. Served just below cellar temps.

Appearance- Dark tawny/brown color with one finger of off-white bubbly head sticking around the top of the beer. Very dark, can't see through it at all.

Smell- Definantly port grapes up front. They're sweet grapes, with very little acidic aromas. Closely following the grape, is cherries and oak. Mild lemon/vinager at the end.

Taste- This is a very layered beer. First I get some mildly tart cherries, but they're followed quickly by sweet and tart (at the same time) grapes. Finish has tons of port flavors. I taste the boozy sweet port, but I get no booze heat. Finishes sweet, smooth, and extremely clean with no harsh acidity.

Mouthfeel- Very full mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Good viscosity and relatively easy drinkability.

Overall- I thought that this was a nice barrel aged wild ale that had various layers in both aroma and smell, but I wanted the body to be a bit more bubbly and light. Maybe the 7.2% had to do with the heavier body. All the same, this was a nice treat from Texas.

Brown and ruddy in appearance, super thin 1/7" tan head. Great aroma, dark fruit, charred malt, coffee from the malt and toffee notes. Complex.

Taste, a good amount of acetic acid, vinegar like aspect pairing with darker malt. Full on carbonation, alcohol noticeable, dark cherry and dark fruit bitterness as well as tartness.

An interesting and unique enough beer. Closes up drying. Would bang again at the right price. Wouldn't chase.
