Nogne Ø Where The Pepper Grows

This robust American Stout, a collaboration with Basqueland Brewing, presents a sophisticated interplay between intense dark malts and the nuanced warmth of Piment d’Espelette. The foundation is built on deep layers of bittersweet chocolate and roasted coffee, characteristic of a strong, malty profile. While the 8% ABV provides a structural spine, the Espelette chili introduces a gentle, earthy spice that evolves into a subtle, lingering burn in the finish. This heat complements the bold roasted bitterness and resinous hop undertones, resulting in a complex, full-bodied experience that balances savory spice with rich, toasted sweetness and a smooth, warming alcohol presence.
