In this beer blog, we are going to get into the next installment of the Games Of Thrones from Ommegang Brewery. It is Valar Morghulis Dubbel Ale. If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this east coast craft brewery. If you have not, please, read them to get to know this craft brewery. Let us get into this Dubbel ale.
It has a cloudy amber color with a constant tan color head. The smell has a sweet malty to candy notes. The taste has a sweet malty to candy notes. The aftertaste has a sweet malty to slight alcohol finish. It is pretty drinkable beer.

In the end, I always get excited when these beers are released from Ommegang. I love their beers but there are times when they put one out a beer that I just feel it is not worth the price. The beer is good but not worth the price. Overall, they make some killer beers. This brew is really good and it will sell because of the Games Of Thrones. It is kind like their Abbey. I just feel like it is missing something. It is a little different brew. If you can find it, I highly recommend this beer. Go get some! Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/
Cheers!
