Kentucky Dark Star

Has anyone seen this at the stores yet? I want need some

 

I think they said they are giving their allotment to Odem either today or tomorrow, and expect it to hit shelves around Friday.

 

Still stuck in Nebraska until late late tonight. Heading to the brewery early Thursday afternoon. [fingers crossed]

 

They've gone through a lot, but they still had about half a pallet when I was there yesterday, I think you should be good.

 

I and my wife each picked up some last week, and we split a bottle on Sunday. I thought it was really good. Maybe a little thinner than I anticipated. Really pleasant and drinkable, start to finish. I need to sit down with it again, for sure. (We'd just had a bottle of Parabola a week or two prior, so I think my wife was disappointed it wasn't that, since the pricepoint was the same—and she knew it, since she bought some of it!)

Sweet pictures, man.

I saw the Fremont tweet from the ferry terminal on Friday as I prepared to head into the Olympic NP woods for 5 days - I felt betrayed by the Brewery's rude decision to release this on such an inconvenient day for me.

Needless to say, without a shower since Friday and physically exhausted, Fremont Brewing was my first stop upon arrival back in Seattle this morning!

 

I picked up my two bokkles this morning as well. Curious to see how patient I am cellaring these two. At least one might not last long at all.

 

Yes, yes I do. Anybody able to grab a couple and I'll repay and throw in a couple of beers? BTW, a few bottles of B-Bomb still in small store here in the 'Ham.

 

Went on a walk with my daughter today and snagged a bottle. They had five or six left in the taproom.

 

On my short list to taste at the SIB tomorrow. Will pick up one or two when they become available locally. A buck or two more but not convenient to pick it up at the source.

 

It didn't hit Bellevue spots yet. Hopefully next week.

 

Stopped by the brewery on Friday, 7/6 to pick up some growlers for a BBQ. They had plenty of KDS bottles for sale and the dude said they had plenty more --- not to fear. They also had KDS on tap.

 

This beer is probably going to fly straight to the top of the Top new beers list. Just saying...I cant wait to pop my bottle that is sapposed to show up on tuesday! Damn!

 

I just got home from Fremont and as of 1:00 this afternoon (7/10), they still had a few bottles left - about half a case - I didn't ask him if that was all there was.

 

No chance that one of you guys could hook up a PDX brother?

 

I picked up a few bottles at Whole Foods Westlake. Still had 2 cases left. $17.99 a bottle though.

 

Maybe I expected too much (my expectation for this beer must have skyrocketted as a follow-up to BA Abominable). It didn't taste like a top 100 beer to me (a bit too boozy and thin mouthfeel). Still great and worth trying it, but not top 100. If you guys had Central Waters BB Stout before, this beer reminded me a little bit of that (with more roasty-ness and alcohol heat and slightly thicker body - yes CW BB Stout is hella thin).
