Karbach Kentucky Habit Houston

D&Q Mini Mart.... in fact, go there for all your beer-related needs



Fun Fact: It just won the award for best bottle shop in Texas this week by RB

 

Can't say enough good things about D&Q.

 

That's awesome!! Go Brandon!!

 

I went by the brewery and tried this. I was told by the waitress that is was pretty hot and to age any bottles I got.

I really liked it and could've had more even after my snifter.

 

I picked mine up at a Spec's at either: store off I-10 (near Wirt Ave), or the two stores just west and east of the 8 on Westheimer. About 2 weeks ago now. Sorry I cant be more specific. It was one of those 3 stores though.

 

You picked up a beer 2 weeks ago that was released this week?

 

Oops. Got it confused with bourbon barrel hellfighter. New to the Texas beers. Sorry about that.

 

I imagine the Wirt store will probably have soon. Its been said before recently, they have a great bottle selection where good beer sits.

 

You mentioned a non BA beer website.

Get your affairs in order, you're going to be banned.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

 

Only one review on the Kentucky Habit now, anyone here have a take on it? I see that the bottles are hitting Austin now and I'm deciding how much of the beer budget should be allocated...

 

I would also like some feedback before hunting it down. I don't splurge on $12-$15 bombers very often and I feel like I might choose between this and BBH chocolate.

 

It's really good. It is a little hot, you definitely get the bourbon, but not in an offensive way. Nice vanilla from the barrel, not overly sweet. My girlfriend picked up on a lot of dark fruits typical of quads. It is a sipper and very enjoyable if you like boozy Bourbon barrel aged beers.

 

Gracias! I picked up a bottle last night ($13.99 in Austin), but I might give it some time to cool off a touch.

 

Specs off of Jones & 290 got their allotment today, I picked up 2

 

I drank it and found it delicious, but never found any quad. Still highly recommend it. I wrote about it for Houston Beer Guide.

 

There aren't many US made BA quads that have all of the qualities of traditional Belgian quads. They're a much less subtle take on the style. Sounds to me that if you like Stickee Monkee and beers like it, you'll enjoy this one.

 

I agree. My girlfriend picked up on some traditional quad like flavors, but I didn't notice them. Still enjoyed it a lot.

 

This was my take on it. Great beer, but in my opinion not as traditional as you might find. Still worth a purchase though.
