On tap at (512), pours a murky dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of funky critters, wood, some tannins and tart red fruits. Flavour is very woody and tannic, with loads of wood, tannins, tart dark fruits and balsamic notes. Tannic and vinous finish. Very good.

Bottle shared in NYC - thanks to Sander. Pours clear brown, reddish, with an off-white head that fades away immediately. Tangy berries inhe nose, a little wood, toffee. Light-medium sweet with low bitterness, a little metallic zing, cherry, faint musty funk, hints of lemon. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Lightly warming in the finish, with woody dryness, a little earth, leathery berries, some lemony acidity. Enjoyable beer.

Aroma is balanced between malt, dark fruit and acidity. The malt has a fairly toasted bread and nut character to it with some light caramel. The fruit is cherry, berry and grape. Acidity seems to be fairly acetic. Light funk. Pours a fairly dark brown with some nice ruby highlights. Seems to be fairly clear. Tan head of medium low thickness that recedes fairly quickly to the edges and a thin layer that is steadily replenished. Flavor starts with some sweet fruit and malt it then it goes down hill from there. Some plum and berry in the flavor upfront along with toasted bread and nuts. Mid palate a less than desire able moderately strong and harsh bitterness hits that also brings in a moderate acidity. Acidity definitely tends to be more acetic than lactic. Mid palate there is also some raisin notes and more nuttiness. Light alcohol spice in the finish. Light plastic phenolic note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with high almost effervescent carbonation. Low astringency and moderate alcohol warmth. Overall this beer is a definite miss in my book. The acidity is off and doesn't work well with the malt in both the aroma and flavor. Also there is a slight phenolic note and in the flavor the bitterness is harsh and unwelcoming. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

16oz on tap at Falling Rock. Pours a translucent mahogany amber with zero head. Aromas of sawdust, wood chips, grass, collard greens, onion patch, pencil eraser. Tart flavor, grass, herbs, tarragon, medicinal, treated wood. Medium bodied, tart finish. Pretty nice but the wood character is very non-traditional. More of an American take on a wild ale.

Dark brown with a medium sized off-white head and good lacing. Tart fruit, dark cherries, toasted malts and spices. Nice.

Bottle thanks to Eric. Pours a clear amber with small off white head. The aroma is sour fruit and cherry. Thin mouthfeel with a dry fruit and lingering dry finish. A good wild ale from 512.
