Basqueland All Gravy

Basqueland All Gravy is a decadent Double IPA that emphasizes a luxurious, velvety texture through a massive grist of malted and flaked oats. The aroma is a high-intensity tropical explosion of papaya, passion fruit, pineapple, and mango driven by Citra and Galaxy hops. Unique nuances of fresh mint and savory spice emerge from the Zappa hops, providing a complex counterpoint to the creamy sweetness of the added lactose. The palate is dense and oily, finishing with a lingering fruit-juice character rather than aggressive bitterness. It presents as a modern, opaque interpretation of the style, balancing its strength with an incredibly smooth, sauce-like mouthfeel.
