Imperial Stout 11.6 º 40 IBU

Basqueland Brewing

Basqueland Fudgesicle is a decadent Imperial Stout that drinks like a liquid dessert, inspired by the nostalgic flavors of a frozen confection. Built upon a complex 9-malt base, it delivers an opulent sensory profile dominated by rich cocoa and toasted hazelnut. The addition of caramel and brown sugar creates a luxurious, fudgy depth that coats the palate. Expect a harmonious interplay of dark chocolate sweetness and nutty richness, balanced by the deep, roasty character of the extensive malt bill. At 11.6% ABV, the alcohol is well-integrated, providing a gentle warmth that enhances the velvety, luscious, and decadent finish.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40 SRM). Pours with a thick, dense, deep tan head with moderate retention. High viscosity is apparent through visible legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring heavy chocolate, cocoa, and pronounced toasted hazelnut. Notes of dark caramel and brown sugar are prominent, layered over a background of roasted coffee and subtle dark fruit esters like raisins. No detectable hop aroma.

Taste. Intensely flavorful and sweet with an initial impression of liquid fudge and hazelnut praline. The 9-malt base provides a complex foundation of toasted bread, espresso, and dark chocolate. Bitterness is low to moderate, serving to balance the residual sugars without becoming aggressive. The finish is lingering and sweet, characterized by caramel, cocoa, and a hint of roasted acidity.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a thick, chewy, and velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. Noticeable but smooth and integrated alcohol warmth. High creaminess with zero astringency.
