Basqueland Brewing Zugarramurdi

Zugarramurdi is a monumental Imperial Rye Stout that commands attention with its 24-month residence in Maker’s Mark Bourbon barrels. The sensory journey begins with an opulent layer of toasted coconut and fragrant Bourbon vanilla, intertwining with the spicy, earthy depth of Rye malt. Ancho chilies introduce a subtle, warming complexity rather than overt heat, accentuating the rich, dark chocolate and roasted malt core characteristic of a robust American Stout. The lengthy maturation yields an elegant, velvety texture where high alcohol warmth is perfectly integrated. It is a masterclass in balance, finishing with a lingering resonance of charred oak, dark fruit, and a whisper of cocoa.
