Bidassoa Basque Brewery / Agains The Grain Cedar & Stone

This American Stout bridges cultures through a complex interplay of dark roasted malts and botanical intrigue. The sensory journey begins with an assertive roasted base, reminiscent of dark chocolate and espresso, characteristic of the style. The inclusion of blackberry introduces a subtle, dark-fruit tartness that weaves through the mid-palate, while the sage adds an earthy, herbal, and slightly pine-like depth, echoing the woody themes of the collaboration. At 5.8% ABV, the beer remains approachable yet layered, balancing firm hop bitterness with a savory, stony mineral finish that grounds the vibrant fruit and herb notes.
