    Just had a growler filled at the D&Q in Houston and it is awesome!! Very smooth and chocholatey. The Karbach guys got it goin on. Has anyone else had a chance to try it yet?

    Yes, I've had both draft and cask versions, and both are solid but the cask was better. Great dessert beer.

    Yeah dude I already got my growler fill on. Luckily I have a 32 or I would be in for a rough night! This stuff is the shit. Way bourbony and way sweet, but not in a hot way and does have some balance. I am surprised that this tastes so great straight from the barrels and not a BBA beer that needs any time to age or mellow out. Karbach is killing it right now!

    Had it last night on cask at the Saucer. Huge mouthfeel. Would love them to bottle this...would age nice.

    One of the smoothest BA beers I've had. It easily ranks with 512 Double Pecan BA as one of the best overall if not just in TX.

    Got a growler at DQ yesterday. This is a very solid BB stout. Reminds me of BB Rasputin. Also Rodeo Clown is a top notch DIPA (aroma and flavor remind me of a slightly muted down Heady Topper). Time to start the much deserved Karbach hype train!

    Yesterday after work I went to the backyard grill to grab a beer and something to eat. Done this plenty o-times but on this day they had bourbon barrel aged Hell Fighter on tap, I was blown away. This is not Flying Saucer or Gman or Hay Merchant this is a local burger joint on the North side so I would like to say my hat goes off to the guys at Karbach. Salute and keep up the good work.
