For the DFW guys.

Did you see if CM had Gotland in?

 

I didn't have time yesterday. Was searching out info on a few other things. I'll try to swing by this evening and I'll let you know

 

CM Dallas has some Gotlandsdricka if anyone in Dallas is looking for some.

 

Let me know what you think of it.

 

It's interesting, there's a definite smoke note on the nose and right away on the palate. It's not an intimidating smokiness, but you know it's there. Also some hops and citrus mixed in, kind of weird. I'm not a big smoked beer fan to begin with, so this wasn't really up my alley, but I think fans of smoked beer will enjoy it. 4 cases at Spec's Dallas.

 

I like smoked beer and the smoke paired with all the damn juniper made me almost drain pour. I'm not drinking it but I'll try to cook with it. I appreciate Jester King for trying but it was terrible.

 

Too much smoke for me... Mixed it with the narwal and it was drinkable.

 

Dang you guys...I wanted to love this beer and with each report I'm less and less interested. I had ASP and Rangers MSP last night so I have no problem with smoke.

I guess if I see it I'll get it, otherwise I'm not going to search too hard.

What's the next thing we should be seeing? The 3 Stone beers? Funk Metal? Buddha?

 

I like juniper, but the smoke is what was making it not work for me.

Anyone see Commercial Suicide or Das Wunderkind around Dallas?

 

I got my Commercial Suicide in Plano at S&K. I was told Specs Dallas was getting it Thursday along with Real Ale Coffee Porter but who knows.

 

Kings got Got. Not much else to report.

 

Yeah I got 2 bottles today.. one for me and then one for a bottle tasting tomorrow.. Sure hope it tastes okay.

 

Wow, Gotland was so nasty! I can't get the flavor out of my mouth and I have only taken one sip

 

Really?

I enjoyed it. The smoke played nicely with the farmhouse yeast. Was different. Picked up some citrusy notes, too...which again, surprisingly, played well with the smoke.

Glad I got to try this unique style.

 

wreck the halls is such a great beer for the price.

 

Double Bastard, Lukcy, and Deep Ellum IPA at Whole Foods Arlington.
