Draft at Moo & Brew. Clear golden amber color white head. Aroma of fig, plum, edge of smoke. Taste is very tart mixed citrus, leather, burnt toast. Weird but interesting

Currant and elderberry nose. Clear amber, headless. Very tart currant. Light tobacco finish, especially when warm. Light body, easy carbonation.

Not bad, but a bit of a letdown in how subtle and unobtrusive a role the bacon plays in the beer. Mostly a heavy slice of vinegar, citric acid, and bright berry notes, with a minor fig sweetness on the finish followed by barely noticeable traces of cured meat in the fade. Pours gold with a fizzy white head and no lace. Nose is somewhat unpleasant.; "Smells like as a sweat sock," as a friend put it. Not bad--actually rather enjoyable as a basic sour--but I expected something more memorable from a bacon wild ale.

$3.45 bottle from Wine Warehouse. Pours golden with a dusting of a white head. The sour aroma and bacon combo are there, but not overly pleasant. Flavor is fruity sweet tart, light crunchy bacon. I don't specifically get dates, and to be honest probably wouldn't get the bacon unless I knew it was supposed to be there. This one doesn't really do it for me.
