From the brewer

This robust American Stout is aged in used Tequila barrels. As it matures, the toasted oak breathes in the beer, infusing the stout with hints of smoke and spice from its former life holding distilled agave. Pair with a San Francisco-style super burrito.

Very noticeable tequilla flavors. They underlying beer has nice sweet chocolate flavors and a surprising but pleasant tart flavor. Pretty good!

Lots of tequila in the fragrance. Stout base is on the dry side with more than a little tartness. Tequila is strongly present with a vegetal, lettuce-like overtone. Unique and very appealing, although perhaps starting to wear by the end of the glass. (10 oz goblet)
