In keeping with the homage to the gods, we wanted to focus on a style that isn't often seen today. Dark and layered like the underworld but full of nuance, not unlike Hades himself. We aimed to have everything about this beer evoke the long, dark journey to the underworld. It is a recipe meant to be savored, much like the last adventure a soul would enjoy with the Journeyman on their fateful trip to meet Hades.

Dark brown with ruby highlights. Aromas of toasted bread, roasted nuts, chocolate, and subtle vanilla. Smooth and creamy, with prominent notes of chocolate and lightly roasted coffee layered with soft caramel, dark bread, and nuttiness in the background. Hints of sweet vanilla on the finish. We were trying to make a sinfully decadent beer that would pair perfectly with sweet and creamy wintertime desserts without being too heavy. With the confidence of the gods, we think we nailed it.

This "dessert beer" pairs well with Crème Brûlée, Peanut Butter Fudge, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, and last requests.

Brewed for Lazy Dog Beer Club's Release No. 12 // The Olympians, Released November 10, 2021
