Introducing Small Gods' Dessert Mix, a tantalizing trio of premium strong ales that will transport you on a delightful journey of flavors. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these beers are a true celebration of the senses. The Hark Gingerbread Imperial Stout is a liquid homage to the beloved lebkuchen of your childhood Christmases. Pouring a deep ebony hue with a creamy head, the aroma is a symphony of ginger spice, molasses, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the stout envelops you with the richness of gingerbread straight from the oven, the warmth of ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg, beautifully intertwined with a dark malt depth that suggests treacle and dark chocolate. The Glory Orange Clove Belgian Dark Strong Ale offers a delightful ensemble of spice and citrus. The bright burst of orange zest on the nose is complemented by the warm spice of cloves, hinting at the festive flavors within. The robust malt base, akin to caramelized sugar and dark fruits, provides a sturdy foundation for the zesty orange and spicy clove notes to shine. The Rejoice Cherry Raspberry Double Stout presents a rich collage of indulgent flavors. The deep, complex malt base lays the groundwork for a delicious journey through sweetness and warmth, with the cherry and raspberry notes contributing a bright fruitiness that cuts through the stout's chocolate notes. Expect a full-bodied experience with a smooth, velvety mouthfeel that makes each sip a luxurious affair. Whether you're savoring these beers during the long summer evenings or enjoying them as a festive indulgence, the Small Gods Dessert Mix is sure to delight and captivate your senses.
