16 ounce can into a snifter. Released 11/16/19, had 12/30/19.

Pours near black and opaque, with a short head and light, soapy lacing. Aromas of grape brandy, chocolate, cocoa, some vanilla, oak, some char, caramel as it warms, an oat- like aroma. Flavors of grape brandy, chocolate, vanilla, some oak and char, light cocoa, light caramel, a little molasses, a little bitterness on the finish. Smooth, a good full body, well carbonated.

An interesting effort, and the grape brandy barrels provide an interesting combination with the stout. Will age a few cans to see how it changes. The base beer is definitely better than last year. This is solid and enjoyable.
