Brewed big, bold, and boozy with a triple mash (elongated boil time) of roasted malt and chocolate malt along with a few other rich and roasty grains, we then blended it in the fermenter with a healthy addition of Zinfandel Grape juice to add that sweet but tannic backbone you love from a good strong Red. The final result is like dark chocolate and red wine, fused together in liquid harmony.

Appearance -The stout has black with some reddish highlights and a tan head.
Smell - There was a significant amount of grape in the nose. The aging created a grape stout.
Taste - My first impression was this tasted like burnt grape juice. It sounds weird, but it is somewhat attractive. In their attempt to make this a pastry stout, vanilla was used. But the vanilla only came through lightly at the end.
Mouthfeel - The beer had a strong body, but was definitely not full-bodied to coat like motor oil. Carbonation was modest.
Overall - This was a one of a kind start. It’s not one to seek, definitely worth trying.
