King in the North, a beer brewed for Jon Snow, is the fourth and final beer in this year’s Royal Reserve Collection, a series of four limited release beers, each designed and brewed as an homage to one of four epic figures engaged in the battle for the Seven Kingdoms.
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
Brewed to sustain a leader through a long, dark night, King in the North is a barrel-aged imperial stout. The beer is available now at the brewery and at retail on draft and in 750ml bottles. The suggested retail price per bottle is $12.99.
King in the North will be released alongside a special edition Royal Reserve Collection gift pack, just in time for the holidays. The gift pack features one 12-ounce bottle of each of the four Royal Reserve Collection beers including Hand of the Queen - a barleywine, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms - a sour blonde blend, Mother of Dragons - a smoked porter and kriek blend and King in the North - barrel-aged imperial stout. The gift pack also includes a collectible Game of Thornes glass at the suggested retail price of $24.99.
