About this release

Basement Jack #7 is a barrel aged specialty beer based on Gardiaan Blond. Aging in bourbon barrels provides pronounced notes of vanilla, oak wood and bourbon, complemented by warm caramel-like and lightly roasted nuances. The result is a full and complex beer with a soft, warming finish in which the influence of the barrel clearly comes to the fore. This edition is part of the Basement Jack series from Brouwerij Het Nest from Oud-Turnhout, Belgium, in which barrel aging is central. The base beer Gardiaan Blond gains extra depth through aging in bourbon barrels and develops a layered interplay between the original blonde beer and the characteristic influences of the barrel. With an alcohol content of 6.0 percent, this beer is pleasantly drinkable without seeming heavy. Brouwerij Het Nest was founded by a group of friends from a local card club and brews beers in the Belgian tradition, but with their own modern twist. Their passion for craft brewing and experimenting with different barrel types results in special creations such as this Basement Jack. This is a beer for those who appreciate layered flavors and value the influence of wood aging.
