Basqueland Affogato

This decadent Imperial Stout captures the essence of a classic Italian dessert through a complex, sensory-driven profile. Basqueland Brewing utilizes a bespoke espresso roast from Old Town Coffee to provide a dominant, high-intensity aroma of freshly roasted beans and bittersweet cocoa. The addition of vanilla creates a creamy, gelato-like sweetness that softens the assertive roast, while a bright hint of strawberry adds a nuanced fruity lift to the mid-palate. Despite the 10.4% ABV, the alcohol is expertly integrated as a gentle warmth. The result is a harmonious, full-bodied experience that balances the roasty depth of the style with the indulgent, layered flavors of a traditional affogato.
