Stouty black in a tulip glass, with a thin ring of tan foam. Smell has the mellowness of a milk stout, and I do get a wood of that port wine, plus some oak. Roasty malt is first on the tongue, a mild coffee impression. Seems like there's some berry behind this, or that's just the wine barrel talking. Goes down smoothly, despite the roastiness, with a slight reminder of the wine.
