What happens when the tank runs dry? You improvise a 50/50 blend of Barleywine and Imperial Oatmeal Stout aged 12 months in a California cabernet barrel, for the best of both worlds.

Aptly named, this has an unexpectedly forward, fruity tanginess to it that is a red wine barrel character I've not really experienced in a beer before, but especially a dark beer. It's kind of nutty with accents of brownie, caramel and cocoa, but is also slick, lightly carbonated, and finishes semi-dry with a warming port-like finish. Unusual--not bad, but not what I'd hoped for either.
