Basqueland Matryoshka
Russian Imperial Stout - 12º - 65 IBU
Basqueland Brewing
This Imperial Stout offers a profound sensory experience, standing as a modern tribute to historic Russian traditions. At 12% ABV, it commands attention with a dense, ink-like presence. A complex grist of seven distinct cereals creates a layered foundation where deep chocolate and roasted coffee aromas intertwine with savory notes of liquorice and toasted nuts. The absence of adjuncts allows the pure malt expression to shine, delivering a luxurious, thick body that coats the palate. A firm, lasting bitterness balances the initial decadence, leading to a sophisticated finish that harmonizes intense roasted character with gentle alcohol warmth.
