Need dat Sunday Morning

 

Noted.

 

#VBS
Thought I'd share a cup of coffee with you fine BA's on this Saturday morning. Finally, I have a weekend off after working some crazy hours these past couple months.
Tonight I will be working on "Ground control to Major Tom" ( not a hint, just secret code for my covert operation) I've picked up some "swag" for my target yesterday after work and will be starting to get going on making sure my boxes will bring out " the little boy @ X-mas" feeling when they arrive.

Final hint: He Got Game

 

200oz packed up right now ready to roll, 100% stouts. Packing a second box of random goodies and swag tomorrow... Which should I send first?

 

Swag, tease a little...

 

Still not released in TX (Starting to think a 4pack isn't going to happen)

 

Still hasn't dropped in my neighborhood either, don't give up hope.

 

It's not even in central IL yet!

 

Whew, so some stuff you haven't gotten a chance to try? I dug into the cellar but was really worried when I found out you were an El Cat. Glad to hear you liked it!

 

Why yes... yes my target does have at least 63 more trades than me.

 

Hot damn is he ever a bad ass.

After a sleepover birthday party for my 14 year old son that ended this morning with me cooking them breakfast (bacon, sausage, hunters hash browns, eggs, toast), them eating me out of house and home and then them playing poker / blackjack around the dining room table (chip off the old block)........I had a long day of recovery due to lack of sleep.

I can finally post PrOn from @Mangbus awes ome first box he sent me. I previously said that it was chock full of little guys and that I love little guys (@LehighAce06 immediately gave me grief for taking that the wrong way ).

Here is the evidence that I was right and he was wrong

2 X White Oak Jai-Alai - Yum! Love these
Spaghetti Western - New one for me that looks great
Bible Belt - New tick and I have loved what I have had from Prairie!
Christmas Bomb - See above!


BBA Mayan Mocha - Permawant! Any stout with any type of spice/chili if awesome in my book! (DBH may in fact be the best stout I have ever tried..........real close with Assassin)
World Wide Stout - Another Permawant!!
BA Dsytopia - New to me but looks fantastic
Imperial Pumpkin Smash - Want! You had me at stout and pumpkin
Beer Geek Breakfast - Should have been a want and I am excited to try it


BCBS 2012,2013 and 2014!!!!! Permawant! Now I'm not sure if I was being stalked but I just donated a 6 year vertical (2009 - 2014) of BCBS to @RayOhioFelton CF LIF as part of a box I am donating. Was down to one 2013.....now I have a vertical again. Thank you!
BBPt5th - Permawant!!

Fan-freaking-tastic box!!! I can't thank you enough and you really hit the sweet spot with me with BA, Coffee, Pumpkin and Spiced stuff.

Cheers man!

 

I was amazingly impressed with the spaghetti western. My expectations were very low, but I'd drink it again.

And @Mipper it's good to know you like spiced beers.

 

Fauxbraxas??????

 

?

 

I think my target's portch feels left out. It is about time to send a scout box to verify the target and judge the structural integrity of their portch.

 

So @LehighAce06 was good enough to send a warning shot and, as described long ago, it was awesome. However the luwak had a rough last week of his month of no drinky (cause like non-beer stuff is some times crappy) and the luwak lamed out and didn't post the pr0n (or anything else) for like two weeks
So boooo on me....
Poop on the luwak...make him eat it (think about it....)

But we should all see what landed while i was otherwise engaged over the last two weeks.


The man sends a box containing two bags and a intriguing box:




What's in that box?????!!!!










This excellent glass! (i love odd-sized brewery glasses makes the breweries seem distinctive)


Sadly
This I what my drinking nights looked like for most of this BIF:


Don't get fooled by the tasted glass. It contained Noni juice at that time...

And so i wasn't able to put that glass to use.

 

And so i opened those bags greedily knowing full well their contents would sit alone unconsumed for another several days.
And from those bags emerged some bottles:



Man i love dem chocolate stouts!
We didn't get any Aphrodite here in AZ that i saw so i was super stoked to see it WANT!
The Penn beer (Chocolate Meltdown) i had actually heard about somewhere while spending too much time reading about beers. So it s should-have-been WANT.
Sam Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout i just absolutely loved its like drinking a chocolate bar! Glad to get more anytime.
SCHNICKELFRITZ CHOCOLATE CHERRY MILK STOUT chocolate AND cherry oh yeah!!!
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout I love this stuff and could probably drink it daily. Permawant!

All that chocolate is how i like em. Hopefully he knows like the barrels too. (lol...like I deserve any more)

And then of course theres the little matter of this growler
It was killing me not to drink it while i was on the wagon....


Meanwhile some boxes have landed.
this awesome stuff from @rockchalkgenes who went way above what was called for in our trade:


And this monster from @wiingman
Which holds a long awaited beer for my targets box




Finally when that I'm back in the game I got to get to that growler
The luwak mightly approved!!!!

This stuff is THICK! and dense and really serious. Think regular Dark Lord sans three pounds of sugar (i am actually somebody who really likes regular Dark Lord but we all know it's got more sugar than a poundcake) .

It took me three tries to kill the growler.
I feel blessed that @LehighAce06
went to get this for me



I'm a very a very happy weasel indeed.

 

Thats an underrated super solid beer!
I heard they're gonna bottle some of BA versions of this.
Ive had two and they were both really really good. The rye barrel one was among the best beers I had last year.
