Ommegang Game of Thrones Three Eyed Raven Dark Saison


Ommegang Game of Thrones Three Eyed Raven. Dark Saison Ale. 7.2% ABV.

Another corked and caged 750 ml tribute to the Game of Thrones, which I continue to know nothing about.

Appearance: dark coloring, vast, creamy, off-white head, leaving lace, looking good.

Aroma: sweet and malty, with light spicy, peppery notes. Saison yeast character begins to flower. Just the stuff.

Taste: Rich and malty, some dark fruit and cocoa notes. A little anise, perhaps. Some dates and figs. Smooth and highly drinkable. Low hops, plentiful saison yeast character, keeping this authentic and ever so tasty.

Does it taste like a three eyed raven, though, in some far-away magical kingdom? I wouldn't know. Still digging it, though.
