Bottle from Beerdome. Aroma is strong wood with Port, grapes, red wine, caramel malt, red fruits, and noticeable alcohol. Flavour is sweet and a bit sharp. Body is above medium. Total Port barrel domination, could use some balance. Nice one to sip on if you dig Port.

Bottle from Beerdome. Big dark chocolate kick in the aroma with lots of cocoa nibs, dark malt, and more bitter dark chocolate. Flavour is rather sweet with an above moderate bitterness. Body is medium to full. I like it, lots of dark cocoa, enjoyable chocolate Stout.

Bottle from Beerdome. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, oak, whiskey, toffee, alcohol, vinous notes, berries, roast, some chocolate, hint of port and/or red wine. Flavour is medium sweet with some bitterness and booze. Body is medium to full. There's certainly whiskey here but I didn't expect to encounter berries and vinous notes in this one. It's almost as if their Port BA went through an additional Whiskey barrel aging.
