As we count down the days to the highly-anticipated eighth and final season of HBO's hit fantasy series, Game of Thrones, Brewery Ommegang and HBO Licensing & Retail have officially released the Jon Snow-inspired King in the North, the fourth and final beer in their limited edition Royal Reserve Collection.
King in the North, which was brewed to sustain a stoic leader through a long, dark night; pays direct homage to the fan-favorite Jon Snow (Kit Harington), who ascended to the throne in the season six finale, following his heroics during the Battle of the Bastards where he finally brought an end to Ramsey Bolton's (Iwan Rheon) twisted reign of terror.
The absolutely delicious barrel-aged imperial stout, which contains approximately 11% alcohol, is now available to purchase, on draft and in 750ml bottles, at the brewery and at retail for an estimated $12.99.
Additionally, the beer will also be released alongside a one-of-a-kind gift pack that will feature one 12-ounce bottle of each of the four Royal Reserve Collection beers as well as a collectible Game of Thrones glass. The gift pack retails for $24.99.
King in the North pours jet black with a thick tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate blend with those of oak, bourbon, and vanilla. The flavor is rich and full with notes of chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and roasted malt up front followed by smooth bourbon and a hint of oak. The finish is thick and chewy with oatmeal creaminess, and pleasant lingering roast. King in the North pairs well with funky aged cheeses, rich dark meats and decadent desserts. It also makes a great dessert on its own.
The Royal Reserve Collection features four new beers in the brewery’s Game of Thrones-inspired series with HBO. All of the beers will be available on draft and in 750ml bottles. The series began in April with Hand of the Queen, a barleywine, and was followed in June by Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, a sour blonde blend. Mother of Dragons, a smoked porter and kriek blend will arrive in September before King in the North and the gift pack.
In Season 7, Daenerys Targaryen has finally set sail for Westeros with her armies, dragons and new Hand of the Queen, Tyrion Lannister. Jon Snow has been named King in the North after defeating Ramsay Bolton in the Battle of the Bastards and returning Winterfell to House Stark. In King's Landing, Cersei Lannister has seized the Iron Throne by incinerating the High Sparrow, his followers and her rivals in the Sept of Baelor. But as old alliances fracture and new ones emerge, an army of dead men marches on the Wall, threatening to end the game of thrones forever.
An original series based on George R.R. Martin's best-selling 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series.
Game of Thrones returns April 2019
