Gingerbread Imperial Stout
Small Gods
A liquid homage to the delicious Lebkuchen of our childhood Christmasses. Pouring a deep, ebony hue with a creamy head, the aroma is a symphony of ginger spice, molasses, and a hint of vanilla. On tasting, the stout envelops the palate with the richness of gingerbread straight from the oven – the warmth of ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg is beautifully intertwined with a dark malt depth that suggests treacle and dark chocolate. The body is substantial, coating the mouth with a velvety texture that carries the spice through to a satisfyingly long finish. The imperial strength is well-concealed, emerging only as a comforting warmth that complements the spice profile. This stout is a festive indulgence that’s not just for the holidays.
