Basqueland Santería
Imperial Stout - 10.5º
Basqueland Brewing
This Mexican Imperial Stout pours with the density of liquid obsidian, delivering a decadent sensory ritual inspired by traditional Mexican hot chocolate. The aroma is a complex tapestry of dark chocolate nibs and vanilla pods, interwoven with the distinct earthy spice of cinnamon. A smoky veil from Chipotle, Ancho, and Morita chilies rises above a foundation of eight specialty malts. On the palate, a lush, velvety sweetness is punctuated by deep cocoa intensity and a slow-building, warming chili heat. The 10% alcohol provides a sophisticated warmth that harmonizes with the lingering spices and rich, roasty finish.
