Kostriker! *That's* what I got in Martin's! It's a 'k', not a funny German beta-thing at all.

Out of curiousity, which one did you get? A friend (in Germany) brought a couple of crates of Schlenkerla Rauchbier[/url:r9y059g1] back from Bamberg and gave me a few bottles to bring back to Ireland. The opinion of my mates was mixed <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> I thought it was like drinking a smoked ham (I like smoked ham though).

[size=75:r9y059g1]Just realised this is another one of those screwed up Germanic fonts where the K in Schlenkerla looks like a t![/size:r9y059g1]

Mmm, I love Ochlenferla, and all the other Scottish rauchbiers <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

I must keep an eye out for smoked beers around Dublin: the only one I've ever had was that made by the Craft brewpub in Athens and it was gorgeous, like drinking a pint of Bacon Fries.

[quote:1m3yq5dw]Martin's Off-Licence on Fairview has a small but lovely stock of beers[/quote:1m3yq5dw]Martins are good for German/Central European beers but not so hot on English Ales/American ales. Lilac Wines is not too far away (Philipsburgh Ave) and they have a better selection of ales.

That's the stuff. I agree, it was like drinking a glass of bacon. I find smoked anything a little sickening after a while and the same thing happened with this beer. I don't see myself drinking very much of it.
