    Never had it from the bottle, but I tried it on tap a few months ago. It was one of the worst beers I ever had.

    Deadlock bottles are being refunded. Bummer

    Gosh darn it. I'd rather this had happened to Imp Beat.

    Did that beer not turn out good in bottles? Ratings on Untappd look promising... Or is this more a commentary on your hopes for Deadlock?

    Imp Beat is damn delicious but maybe like dcbullet, I was looking forward to deadlock more. I prefer berries compared to stone fruits.

    I've opened two bottles and both were great, better base beer than their normal Beatitude and the fruit character is excellent. Not sure what dcbullet's intent was but I've yet to hear negative feedback about Imperial Beatitude.

    I really, really liked the last deadlock, so I was looking forward to this. I've got a million fruited blond sours already.

    Considering that beer was brewed for charity, it's better that it didn't happen to Imp Beat.

    Especially if any proceeds of the sales went to the charity.

    Next weekend, I believe (don't quote me), but they might be willing to hold onto your bottles. Your best bet is to call

    What happened to Deadlock? I don't see any posts from them on social media about it. Bad batch?

    They emailed out to everyone that purchased it that it did not carb up to their expectations (i.e. they withheld the bottles due to lack of carb and after almost a month..still nothing). So instead of letting a product go that they felt didn't meet their standards they pulled it and are issuing refunds.

    they also mentioned they will keep checking it and if it becomes carbed to their liking they wont re-sell them, but instead make them available in the tasting room at a future date.

    A brewer with the integrity to not release inferior bottles.... Respect.
