From the way you describe it, it sounds like a "barley wine"[1] (actually a type of very strong beer, despite the name).

It isn't quite a barley wine, at least it doesn't taste like any barley wine I've had before. It has some hints of mead, but the grape is what makes it different. If you live in the SF Bay area, you can definitely find this at either City Beer Store or Healthy Spirits.

Midas Touch didn't taste like the only barley wine I remember trying (Flying Dog's Horn Dog), but IANA beer sommelier, maybe you're right. :-)
