This collaboration between Stillwater Artisanal and Freigeist Bierkultur presents a sophisticated, vinous profile driven by spontaneous fermentation and co-fermentation with Cabernet Franc grapes from Weingut Brand. The aroma is a complex tapestry of red currants, dark cherries, and earthy barnyard funk, supported by a distinct spicy green peppercorn note characteristic of the grape variety. On the palate, the Brettanomyces provides a rustic, dry character that allows the berry-like fruitiness and subtle oak tannins to shine. This Wild Ale finishes exceptionally crisp and bone-dry, with an elegant, lingering wood-derived structure and a bright, vinous acidity that balances its rustic, farmhouse soul.
Appearance. Pours a deep copper to reddish-amber (SRM 12-16) with a slight, persistent haze. Features a moderate, off-white head with fair retention and delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity and layered. Prominent Brettanomyces character of wet hay, leather, and barnyard funk is integrated with high fruity esters of blackberry, plum, and stone fruit. Subtle oak-derived vanilla and a light floral peppercorn note from the Cabernet Franc grapes are evident.
Taste. The initial impression is dry and fruit-forward, featuring notes of red currant and tart cherry. The mid-palate reveals earthy, rustic funk and a light woody astringency. Malt flavors are minimal, appearing as soft cracker or toast. The finish is very dry and clean with a lingering vinous character. Bitterness is low, allowing the grape-derived acidity to provide balance.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, highly attenuated texture. Carbonation is moderate-high and effervescent. A light oak-tannin prickle is present, accompanied by a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
