From the brewer

The Saga Series Oak-Aged Stout – Limited Edition is an export strength stout aged on toasted oak. We used Medium toast American oak chips to impart the maximum vanilla and toffee flavors while trying to keep the woody tannins in check. These flavors balance the dark chocolate-coffee flavors from the toasted malt and roasted barley.

Bottle at Home
A little more wood and dryness than I remember from the tap. Drinkable and just complex enough to not be boring, but lacking a certain kind of depth.
Strongly roasty without being too bitter, & just the barest touch of wood. It's priced like a regular craft stout and given that it's solidly tasty. It wouldn't stand out in a field of barrel-aged beers, though.
