Poured from 16 oz can into snifter.
A: Pours a dark brown with 1/2 inch tan head that fairly quickly recedes to a thin skim.
S: Sweet red wine, dry dark chocolate, and a hint of whiskey.
T: Dry dark chocolate quickly followed by strong red wine. Hints of whiskey, vanilla, and dark dried fruit. The red wine element is quite strong. Unusually strong for barrel aging.
M: Medium body. Sweet red wine with mildly sweet chocolate comes off as imbalanced.
D: An interesting experimental brew with some good elements, but doesn’t quite hold up as a whole.

I feel really bad about doing this to one of my favorite breweries, but this is a muddled mess. The mix of stout, red wine and bourbon is offputting.
By the by, Heckin' Chonker was quite good and the 2019 FSB series was excellent, especially Part 3.

Fair States Purple Tooth Wine-barrel Aged Imperial Stout, 9% ABV. This is based on their Giantsbane stout. Pours black with a slight brown head. Nose is sweet grape and chocolate. Taste is tart grape, slight chocolate, roast malt, some bitterness, no sweetness - not a pastry stout. Decent but dry mouthfeel, overall excellent.
