Well-integrated oak-aged stout complements dark-roasted mocha malt expectancy with tannic Bordeaux-wined Malbec grape juice and latent raisin-plum-prune swoon. Creamy brown chocolate sweetness overrides descending dried fruiting at cocoa-powdered finish. Hints of chewing tobacco, charred wood and anise add depth to fine purple grape-draped chocolate fondue alternative.
