    Nice box @boney77! Well deserved after the one you sent me last time around :grinning:

    Flickr sure does make it complicated to post a photo... here's the code for it (copy and paste this in):

    You sure that one is the Elijah Craig?
    I thought the EC12 was more purple and that sparkle pink wax was Java?

    I'm thrilled you enjoyed the box!!!
    I can't recall meeting either but I knew you lived here at some point not that long ago, so I tried to send stuff a couple years old or relatively new.
    The HP Burly's from 2008, and the Demeters is from the first batch in 2011, Glenda's a one off from 2011 and picked up some brett but I think it just added to the complexity, you be the judge.

    I'm glad everything made it safe and sound, enjoy!!!

    Gosh I don't know when I bought it it was listed as the Elijah but you could be right though! Guess Phil will have to crack it open to find out!

    The top:
    Dominion City Earl Grey Marmalade Saison Growler and Coasters
    Beyond The Pale Chardonnay Nu Saison
    Beyond The Pale Pink Fuzz Saison Growler
    Bellwoods Roman Candle

    The Bottom:
    Les Brasseurs Du Temps Trois Portages

    Beyond The Pale Coaster

    Wow guys, this is a crazy and completely amazing box full of awesome wants. The growlers (the Dominion City one is super cool) are already in the fridge along with the IPAs!.

    Have not heard of the Biscoff Spread before but I think it will need to be tasted while enjoying the Biscotti Break. Looking forward to all of these! Thanks again you two.

    Nice! I still have 2 bottles of chocolate manifesto. It's like chocolate milk with 10% alcohol in it.

    @FondueVoodoo that BDT Trois Portages is Pinot Noire barrel aged too...hope you enjoy!

    (The Heady was fresh to the store in Waterbury on September 8. <sarcasm> probably ruined now </sarcasm>)

    Biscoff is best enjoyed with a spoon :wink:

    Some great boxes! Can't wait until I'm home from Belgium (actually, I can) to crack mine open too!

    One last moderately subtle hint: that was it.

    Be careful with that Biscoff (Speculoos) spread, it can be very addicting!

    Glad you enjoyed the box, @polloenfuego and I had a great time putting it together :slight_smile:

    Glad you enjoyed it...you need to dig through the box though as there is some homemade red pepper jelly as well! Was in the same sleeve as the boneshaker.
