About this release

Basement Jack #2 is a unique blend of Schuppenboer Tripel and cider, aged for four years in ex-Speyside whisky barrels. This exceptional barrel aged creation reveals layers of malty spiciness, fresh apple acidity and refined whisky notes. The finish is layered with hints of honey, oak, vanilla and a gentle spirit warmth. This masterpiece comes from Brouwerij Het Nest in Oud-Turnhout, Belgium, a brewery founded by friends from a local card club who combine their passion for brewing with playful naming and Belgian brewing traditions. With an alcohol content of 8.5 percent and a volume of 330 milliliters, Basement Jack #2 is a worthy moment of contemplation. The complex profile of this beer speaks to lovers of patience, craftsmanship and pronounced flavour layers. The combination of tripel, apple fruitiness and whisky barrels creates a full, matured experience that is both refined and intriguing. Every sip reveals new dimensions, from the initial maltiness to the warm aftertaste with subtle oak and vanilla notes. This is a beer for those willing to pause and appreciate the refinement of extended aging. Perfect for evenings when you deserve something special.
