Description 

Ommegang and HBO® announce the newest beer in the Game of Thrones® collaboration series. An Abbey Dubbel was selected by fans 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.

This beer walks the fine line between the Belgian Dubbel style and its bigger cousin, the Belgian Dark Strong Ale. In the glass it is a deep brown with a reddish/orange hue and a big, white, rocky head. The Belgian yeast provides plum, raisin, maybe some green banana, along with cocoa, spun sugar and a bready malt aroma. The flavor is smooth, yeasty, banana bready-malt backed with spiciness, perhaps marjoram, or even some mace. Behind the spiciness, there are plum and currant flavors, with perhaps a touch of white grape. The hops provide enough balance to provide a creamy finish with a touch of alcohol warmth. Definitely a well done Belgian warmer.This beer walks the fi ne line between the Belgian Dubbel style and its bigger cousin, the Belgian Dark Strong Ale.
