Bottle: Poured a deep amber/copper color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized sugar with light vinous notes is OK. Taste is a mix of caramelized sugar notes with some vinous notes, light oak presence with a semi-dry finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Not bad but lack some of the rich malty notes I was expecting and not sure the wine aging adds much to this type of beer.
