Basqueland Barrelworks Maple Syrup

Imperial Stout aged in 225 liter maple syrup barrels from Vermont. This is their first filling with beer so the barrel is very pronounced. The outcome is a complex, sumptuous and intense beer. The freshly emptied barrels still wet with aged maple syrup give the beer a stern woody character along with aromas of honey and raisins. This mixes with the flavors brought by malt, such as chocolate and nuts, resulting in a balanced and complex beer. It is full of nuance.
