Jester King Liquid Bake Sale

We created an imperial stout inspired by one of the favorite breads we bake at Jester King Bakery — Babka!

We double-mashed a huge, sticky wort with TexMalt Wildfire Pale and San Jacinto Heritage Malt, a huge helping of double-roasted crystal malt, gobs of oats and raw wheat, brown sugar, milk sugar, and brioche bread! We fermented in stainless steel with the dark-fruity English yeast strain we love for our stouts, then added vanilla beans and cacao nibs in an effort to mimic the rich, scrumptious flavors and aromas of Babka!

We get notes of Kirschwasser brandy, chocolate fondue, rum-soaked licorice, bread pudding, kids’ birthday cake frosting, Tollhouse cookies from a wood-fired oven, and Mexican Coke steeped on vanilla beans!
