What Our Editors Thought
“Red wine drives the aroma and sip, initially overshadowing the bourbon. Lean and light bodied, with dark chocolate notes and a roastiness that complements the barrel selection.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Nose of chocolate, aged wood, pricey bourbon, and red wine. Chocolate flavors match well with the red-wine character. Nutty and almond-like. Sufficient hop bitterness for balance. Sweet with a lingering tannic bitter finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Barrel-aged stout. Red-wine barrel and bourbon barrel blend.”
