Basqueland Jumper Kitten

This Imperial Stout from Basqueland Brewing presents a sophisticated interplay between deep roasted malts and the elegant influence of Château Carbonnieux Semillón barrels. A base of dark chocolate, espresso, and black licorice provides a sturdy foundation, while six months in Bordeaux white wine oak introduces nuanced notes of honeyed apricot and a vinous, waxy complexity. At 10.5% ABV, it offers a smooth, warming sensation that integrates seamlessly with the dark fruit esters of prune and fig. The result is a luxurious, multifaceted stout that balances intense bitterness with the refined, bright character of the Semillón grapes.
