Basqueland Barrel Works Bourbon

This Imperial Stout delivers a decadent sensory experience, defined by twelve months of maturation in Bourbon barrels. A deep, obsidian pour releases a complex bouquet of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and dark fruits like raisins and figs, seamlessly woven with barrel-derived notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and spicy bourbon. On the palate, it is viscous and chewy, offering intense layers of roasted malt, black licorice, and burnt caramel. The 11% alcohol provides a well-integrated, smooth warmth that balances the residual malt sweetness. It finishes with a lingering interplay of charred wood and dark chocolate, showcasing a masterful harmony between raw power and refined barrel aging.
