Ommegang and HBO® announce the newest beer in the Game of Thrones® collaboration series. Through its first four seasons, the critically acclaimed drama has become the biggest show on HBO.
In the world of Westeros, Valar Morghulis means “all men must die.” Fans of the hit HBO show chose the foreboding phrase as the name of the newest beer in the Game of Thrones® collaboration between HBO and Brewery Ommegang. As part of a Facebook poll, fan voting determined the style and name of the next beer. An Abbey Dubbel was selected and it is perfectly represented by the “two- headed” coin given to Arya Stark by Jaqen H’ghar, one of the “Faceless Men of Braavos” – legendary assassins with the ability to change their appearances at will.
On sale October 1st, available in 750ml bottles and 1/6 barrel kegs.

Deep ruddy mahogany body dominates. Soapy tan head that settles into a much finer softer cap.
Nose is cherry and mild vinegar and yeast. Some other dark fruits: plum and fig.
Flavour takes the themes of the nose and does them up in lace. Cherry and dried plums abound with a creamy smoothe body underneath it all. But the dried plums, dried cherry, some fig, those really stand out. Dry bitter crisp lager-like finish. Sweet caramel notes intertwine to finish it up.
Fruity sweet and yeast bitterness are really the framework for this brew.
Medium carbonation and the crisp bitter finish fit around the creamy round body like things that fit nicely together.
I want to soak dried plums in it or put it in fancy brandy barrels or something.
Brewed 07/01/2014, with a best by of 07/2017, so I don't feel bad about having held onto it until now ;)

In my opinion, this one is the best of the Game of Thrones line. Reddish brown in color , big beige head. Rich aroma of raisins , caramel, and dark fruits. Moderate sweetness in taste with hint of sourness, Although raisins, dark fruits, and roasted caramel. Great beer!

Bottled 6/17, enjoyed a year later alongside GoT.
This pours a ruddy brown with thin foam. I get a raisiny stone fruit aroma. Thin bodied. Malty but not overly. Not bad with some age.

I've had this in storage for several years and finally decided to pop it open for a special occasion. I may have let it sit too long as it was filled with the particulates after opening and airing out. It was a little too sweet for my liking, but it's retired now anyway.

750ml bottle. No dating information found.
Murky, amber brown colored body. One finger of khaki colored head; this settles back to a partial cap and ring. Just a couple of spots of lacing left behind.
Aroma of caramel, malt, and fruit, with yeast.
Taste of yeast, caramel, fruit, and malt.
Medium mouth feel, with dry feel from the yeast. Very good (frothy) carbonation.
Expresses the tenets of a Dubbel. Crafted for balance and component expression.

A very typical Dubbel from Belgium but made here in the good Ol’ US. As is typical with this style of beer there is an alcohol taste and smell.
