Wine Geese (New Era Oak / Ex-Bordeaux Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, 12% ABV) combines the elegance of French oak influence with deep stout richness, marrying blackcurrant, dark plums, and espresso notes over a backbone of toasted malt. The oak treatment adds structure, lending texture and a whisper of tobacco or leather. It drinks with depth but isn’t overly heavy, making each sip complex yet approachable.
