The Basques (/bɑːsks/ or /bæsks/; Basque: euskaldunak [eus̺kaldunak]; Spanish: vascos [ˈbaskos]; French: basques [bask]) are a Southwestern European ethnic group,[6][7][8] characterised by the Basque language, a common culture and shared genetic ancestry to the ancient Vascones and Aquitanians.[9][10][11] Basques are indigenous to, and primarily inhabit, an area traditionally known as the Basque Country (Basque: Euskal Herria)—a region that is located around the western end of the Pyrenees on the coast of the Bay of Biscay and straddles parts of north-central Spain and south-western France.[10... The English word Basque may be pronounced /bɑːsk/ or /bæsk/ and derives from the French Basque (French: [bask]), itself derived from Gascon Basco (pronounced [ˈbasku]), cognate with Spanish Vasco (pronounced [ˈbasko]). Those, in turn, come from Latin Vascō (pronounced [ˈwaskoː]; plural Vascōnes—see history section below). The Latin /w/ generally evolved into the bilabials /b/ and /β̞/ in Gascon and Spanish, probably under the influence of Basque and the related Aquitanian (the Latin /w/ instead evolved into /v/ in French, Italian and other Romance languages). Several coins from the 2nd and the 1st centuries BC found in the Basque Country bear the inscription barscunes. The place in which they were minted is not certain but is thought to be somewhere near Pamplona, in the heartland of the area that historians believe was inhabited by the Vascones. Some scholars have suggested a Celtic etymology based on bhar-s-, meaning "summit", "point" or "leaves", according to which barscunes may have meant "the mountain people", "the tall ones" or "the proud ones", and others have posited a relationship to a Proto-Indo-European root *bar- meaning "border", "frontier", "march".[12] In Basque, people call themselves the euskaldunak, singular euskaldun, formed from euskal- (i.e. "Basque (language)") and -dun (i.e. "one who has"); euskaldun literally means a Basque-speaker. Not all Basques are Basque-speakers. Therefore, the neologism euskotar, plural euskotarrak, was coined in the 19th century to mean a Basque person, whether Basque-speaking or not. Alfonso Irigoyen posits that the word euskara is derived from an ancient Basque verb enautsi "to say" (compare modern Basque esan) and the suffix -(k)ara ("way (of doing something)"). Thus, euskara would mean literally "way of saying" or "way of speaking". One item of evidence in favour of that hypothesis is found in the Spanish book Compendio Historial, written in 1571 by the Basque writer Esteban de Garibay. He records the name of the Basque language as enusquera. That may, however, be a writing mistake. In the 19th century, the Basque nationalist activist Sabino Arana posited an original root euzko, which he thought came from eguzkiko ("of the sun", related to the assumption of an original solar religion). On the basis of that putative root, Arana proposed the name Euzkadi for an independent Basque nation, composed of seven Basque historical territories. Arana's neologism Euzkadi (in the regularized spelling Euskadi) is still widely used in both Basque and Spanish since it is now the official name of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.[13] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basques)

Scarlet... Style Imperial Stout ABV 11% Hops - Description A blend of selected 15-month Porto barrel-aged Imperial Stout and 6-hour boiled young Imperial Stout that has been heavily conditioned over raspberry and vanilla beans. A giant clash that results in a boldly flavored beer with tantalizing dark nuances, a warming body, and a beautiful black color with a red hue. On the nose, intense ripe raspberry aroma from the Porto barrels with a touch of vanilla, followed by hints of cocoa, wood, dark fruits, and spices. In the mouth, it is dense and sweet, combining the flavors of the port barrel with dark maltiness, earthiness, and raspberry character. A beer meant to be enjoyed with friends and family, it pairs amazingly well with strong cheese, and dark forest pie, but is equally enjoyable on its own. The label was designed in collaboration with world-renowned artist Carlos Irijalba. (https://basquebeer.com/en/scarlet-porto-barrel-raspberry-vanilla-barrel-works-craft-beer-66cl-bottle/)

French Oak Barrel Aged imperial stout 10%
Het is zwart bier en een bruin schuim. En het ruikt redelijk goed. Het mondgevoel is dik en romig. De smaak kan ik niet echt thuisbrengen, maar het is wel een lekker bier. Ik tik het zo weg en dat is niet slim met 10%. Jammer dat ik niet de smaak zo erudiet kan beschrijven als die experts op Bierista...
Maar wacht even terug naar het begin. Waarom moet die kroonkruk in het plastic? Het openen is zo lastig en geeft een hoop afval. Het vervuilt de glasrecycling met dat plastic. Wat is het voordeel?
