a huge thanks to Fatbeats18 for this one! greatly appreciated this!

A: pours an extremely dark red/purple that is nearly brown in color, very nice carbonation and creates about 1/2 fingers worth of light tan head formation. Suprised on how dark this body is and swirling the glass creates a quick fizz.

S: wow, this is awesome. big tart cherries, black berries and raspberries are extremely well balanced with one another. these are complemented by big port-wine body with the oak lying in the background. some vinegar comes through and quite inviting. And just smelling this the first time got my mouth taste buds fired up.

T: a bit more vinegar comes through here, as does the port-wine characters. the acidic fruits are still very well present but not as prominent in my opinion as the nose suggested. the oak again is subtle and sits quite nicely with the entire brew.

M: medium bodied, full of carbonation, creates immense salivation, slight vinegar and acidic after taste is left on the palate. (wish that the tart fruits lingered a bit longer)

O: a very solid brew all the way around. its a fantastic representation for the style and has moderate complexity. I admit that I'm still relatively new to this style of beer, but I'm already hooked. The port-wine characteristic in this one really shines through more so than other wild ale's that i've tried, which i really thought was appealing.

thanks again Fatbeats18!!!

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.
