Game of Thrones Season 8 is months away but, this exciting news will definitely lessen up your cravings. Well, the good news is that Brewery Ommegang’s third beer in the Game of Thrones based ‘Royal Reserve Collection’ is releasing on September 28th. The beer is named ‘Mother of Dragons’ – inspired by the Dragon Queen Daenerys Targaryen.
‘Mother of Dragons’ is a deep ruby-tinted mahogany with a creamy tan head and is a joint venture of both Brewery Ommegang and HBO. The description of the beverage reads:
“Mother of Dragons pours a deep ruby-tinted mahogany with a creamy tan head. Aromas of chocolate covered cherries intertwine with subtle smoke and roasted malt. The flavor is rich with tart cherry up front leading to a center palate of semi-sweet chocolate then resolving to subtle smoke and mild sweetness”
“The mouthfeel is luxuriously creamy and full, and the finish is semi-dry with lingering notes of smoke and cherry sweetness. Mother of Dragons is 6.5% ABV and pairs well with smoked gouda and charcuterie, braised meats, and rich desserts like flourless chocolate cake and cherry cheesecake.”
The beer was announced back in July and according to Brewery Ommegang PresidentDoug Campbell,“Mother of Dragons represents in beer one of our favorite characters from Game of Thrones. Daenerys’s ascent from obscurity has been one of the most inspiring storylines of the show and we’re thrilled to release a blend that embodies the character traits that have underpinned that rise.” The third beer of the 2018 Royal Reserve Collection is all set to release on September 28.
Apart from Mother of Dragons, the other three beverages in the Royal Reserve Collection namely include: Hand of the Queen, a barleywine (named after Tyrion Lannister),Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, a sour blonde blend (named after Cersei Lannister), and King in the North, a barrel-aged imperial stout (named after Jon Snow) – which is all set to release on November 23.
