I always enjoy anything from Ommegang.

In the series the GOT #1 Blonde was good as was #2 Take the Black Stout.

#3 The Fire and Blood infused with ancho chiles was a bit different. Not really sure if I would buy more. Although I think you might find it interesting.

I thought Take the Black Stout was average. The blonde was good. Not a big fan of hot pepper / chile beers but will give this one a try as I do find most Ommegang brews to be solid.

^ great tips thank you!

I didn't care for either of the first two GoT offerings. That surprised me a little, because I do generally like Ommegang.

Definitely enjoyed the Blonde over the Stout. This heat/smoke of this Fire & Blood is restrained, I found it to be more of an accent to the beer than the main focus. Very enjoyable like that, had no trouble drinking about 2/3rds of the bottle (the Wife claimed the rest) while watching the latest episode Monday night.

Wonder if I can sneak one of these into the theatre for the last episode of the season...

That Fraoch Heather Ale 22 sounds really good. The regular Fraoch is already very tasty.

"This 11% abv version of our Fraoch is matured in ex-sherry casks previously used to mature Auchentoshan single malt. Brewed as an 11% Fraoch Heather Ale then matured in ex-sherry & single malt whisky casks giving a rich creamy brew, full of notes of sherry & barley wine with a wood & whisky finish."

Wow. I'll definitely give that a try!

Really good brewery from Scotland. No squirrels or gimmicks required.

Hey now, stop insulting the squirrels. Some of them gave their lives in the name of beer, show some respect.

Nothing says respect like a Brew Dog product crammed... oh I can't even finish that thought.

Nothing wrong with their squirrel beer, but it's just not, you know, rare enough. I'm waiting for a keg inside a giant panda.

I hear it's being brewed with California Condor eggs in the mash. They're doing the freeze fractionation by chilling the beer only with the frozen tears of orphans.

I really liked the Fire and Blood beer. It's better than the stout. I think it'd go great with some flank steak carne asada.
