Basqueland Oloroso Beltza

This Imperial Stout presents an opulent sensory journey, elevated by extended maturation in Oloroso barrels. The pour is viscous and ink-black, releasing a profound aroma of bittersweet chocolate and espresso, interlaced with the Oloroso’s signature oxidative notes of toasted walnuts and sun-dried raisins. On the palate, a velvety texture carries deep layers of black cherry, figs, and charred grain, while the sherry casks impart a distinctive vinous complexity and a hint of vanilla. A firm bitterness balances the residual malt sweetness, concluding in a long, warming finish defined by noble spirit character and dark cocoa, making for a harmonious, sipping experience.
