    I've updated the feedback.

    To tell the story briefly, at first I was waiting on Parabola to get to him (2-3 weeks), then a Rare Barrel sour release (another 2-3 weeks). After that, he sent one box, said he would send the second a few days later. I then waited 2 months for the second one. I would message him and get vague responses about how he had stuff going on.

    I waited to leave feedback because I felt that if I did and it was negative, he wouldn't send me anything else at all. I sent my part of the trade early because they were IPA's and because we already had completed a trade 2 months prior. I was too trusting that he'd eventually hook me up. It's a shitty excuse, I know, but that was my thought process.

    Would anybody else be a bit hesitant to drink beer recieved in a situation like this? It is easy to re cap a beer. I think I would ask for a check instead at this point.

    I've been off of BeerAdvocate until today. This mess has just left such a bad taste in my mouth. This is such a great community, but after what happened here... I am very reluctant to even attempt another trade. The fact that this clown will just skate away with no penalty of any kind really pisses me off. I do appreciate the support and help I've gotten from fellow BeerAdvocates through the process. It appears the trail has gone cold and @smitty5245 wins...
