Dark Designs is a limited-edition organic Imperial Wine Stout from Halcyon Barrel House. Two years in wine and whiskey barrels produced this blend, which was bottled in September 2019. Dark-designs is a warming, extra-strong stout. Anticipate notes of wine and stone fruit, with hints of nutty dark chocolate. Dark roasted malts offset the mild tart and brett elements. Intentional low-carbonation suits the alcohol warmth of this style.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
500ml bottle from Beau's, Blend #103, packaged on 09/18/19. Pours a dark brown colour with copper-ruby highlights. Small mocha-coloured bubbly-frothy head, decent stay and a ring of tiny bubbly foam. The red wine vinegar sourness is big in the nose, over the roasted malts, and other red wine notes. The taste shows less this vinegar action, and shows the roasted malts with hints of wood from the barrel. I must say that the mouthfeel is quite thin for such a heavy alcohol content. Not heavy, not syrupy. Goes down nicely, and some dryness comes in the finish. Getting some vanilla notes from the oak with time. Still, not getting the oily, thicker Imperial Stout feel though. Disappointed in this one, as was expecting so much more.
