Each cork is fire-branded with “Valar Dohaeris,” the traditional response phrase to “Valar Morghulis” meaning “all men must die.”
Valar Morghulis possesses a deep chestnut brown color with a persistent and creamy tan head. Rich aromas of caramel, toffee, ripe fruits and burnt sugar, with a hint of cloves. The taste is delicately balanced with rich malty sweetness, caramel and just enough bitterness to balance out its malty backbone. A surprisingly dry finish is light on the tongue, which belies the initial aroma.

On tap @ Barleycorn. This is a deeper dark brown looking one, almost deep copper and quite cloudy in the glass. A huge almost creamy khaki head leaving nice lacings and dots down the glass. The nose has tones of sweet dark candied sugar, earthy fruit. I get a little bit of alcohol, warming, pleasant. Tastes quite good this. It has a good almost acidic sweetness. Lots of dark candied sugar here's. It's really smooth and creamy in the mouth and therefor somewhat soft on the carbonation. Traces of both cold coffee and chocolate wrapper. In the end it turns more nutty in a way with a taste of burnt raisins. Just had the #3 in the series and enjoyed it, but this is even tastier. 16.06.2015

750 ml corked and crowned bottle. Translucent mahogany brown color. Small creamy beige head. Aroma is redolent of dark dried fruit, Demerara sugar and overripe plums. Flavor follows nose with additional notes of burnt caramel and cloves. Silky mouthfeel with complex dark fruity malt notes. Finishes with rich chewy malt and subtle hops. Very nicely done. A tasty Dubbel Ale.

Dark ruby with a lingering beige head. Powerful ripe dark fruit, date, brown sugar, raisin, caramel malt. Flavor is similar with a bit of spice and light toasted malt. Faint alcohol heat that pairs well with the mildly spiced profile. A winner.

Draft. Cloudy deep amber body with a frothy, off-white head. Aroma of plum, raisin, leather, toasted grain. Hint of licorice. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/velvety, lively carbonation. Ripe fruits, light mustiness and sweet malt backbone yet dry enough and lightly bitter enough to keep everything in balanced.
