Jester King Releasing Liquid Bake Sale Imperial Babka Stout

From Jester King:

We’re very excited to release Liquid Bake Sale Imperial Babka Stout!

Liquid Bake Sale is brewed in support of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, a non-profit group organized to advance small, independent brewers in Texas. The fundraiser features Texas-grown malt in partnership with TexMalt in Fort Worth.

For our Liquid Bake Sale beer, we created an imperial stout inspired by one of the favorite breads we bake at Jester King Bakery — Babka! Our Head Baker JONATHAN SANCHEZ (pictured below) grew up making Babka with his family and brought the tradition to Jester King. We’re excited to have turned this inspiration into liquid form!

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! 10.5% abv.

Available for sale online starting now! Available for in-person sale (to go and by the glass) when we open today at 3pm. We have about 200 cases available. Sixteen ounce, four-pack cans are $24.

We’re grateful to be part of the Liquid Bake Sale. Thank you very much to our friends at the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, TexMalt, and our Head Baker Jonathan Sanchez!
