Bottle.
A- Dark brown color, opaque liquid, light brown head.
A- Roasty, oak, cocoa powder, grape, red wine.
F- Cocoa, dry, oak, roasty, faint bitterness, tannic.
T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, tannic finish.
O- Not as complex as it probably should have been. Pretty dry and tannic. The wine barrel doesn't add much flavor as much as it does to impact the palate. The bourbon barrel is almost non-existent. A decent stout, albeit perhaps a bit thin on the body. This should have a lot more complexity. I think of Smuttynose The Stallion when I think of red wine barrel stouts and this definitely didn't hit that mark.
