    So, I shared a few bottles tonight with a friend if mine and the easy highlight was this:

    MBCP was also really good but I preferred this one. It tasted like a liquid almond joy in the best possible way. Thanks again @whyteboy003 !

    @Mipper is just crushing it daily. Who knew I'd ever get so excited just to see this bottle cap:

    So poured a glass, smells and looks great, tastes better than it looks:

    But no idea which it is, so....

    Thanks @Mipper , this is a really nice beer. Never thought I'd dome a bomber of Rare Barrel solo in under a half hour, but it was so damn drinkable I couldn't help it!

    Not sure I can wait until xmas for the next 12 days, what'd we got for holidays? 12 days of Fall? Start doing it quarterly? :wink:

    Sitting here watching USMNT play in my hometown (should have bought tix) and just opened up this gem from my man-crush. BIG BIG want of mine (and ANOTHER wish list beer). I love all the Jackie O's stouts, and this is their king. I love how the Maple comes through at the end. And just when I thought my sender was a west coaster, he goes and pulls this rabbit of Ohio, now I'm really confused. Again. But so thankful.

    Glad you like it my friend! It wasn't a want, but it was retired, so i thought it through. It was also the only Rare Barrel bottle I had, so I figured I HAD to send it!

    PrOn!!!! Day #4
    I had an opportunity to rev the old Rascal up and go and visit a few old friends and tick a new handshake and I had to take it........7:30 PM bed time be damned!

    [​IMG]

    I was warned that this should be shared and it was described by some as the most sour beer they have ever tried........call me an old glutton but i liked it! Had 3 pours with @PA-Michigander @UcDru @ninjembro and @MMBrew

    We also had a few others.....

    Some of these (among others) were 12 DOS shares!

    I guess I can admit it that I am officially a Huna junkie.............can't get enough of it. Luckily I have one more 2015 to share with friends at a later date................and DBH is still tied for the best beer i have ever tried with Assassin.

    Man, French Broad Chocolate Factory and Vortex Doughnuts are two places I keep hearing about and keep not getting to...

    Sorry for the delayed ****. First day I got to drink less than 32 ounces (granted I didn't drink that whole growler by myself Saturday, but I sure as hell drank more than 64 ounces).

    Anyway, I have had both of these beers once I believe and very excited to try both of them again.

    The Peche Mortel is such an awesome bitter coffee stout. Awesome beer to start the night and then a little palate changer to finish. I did blind tastings on both and knew immediately judging by the cork/top and cherry flavors that this was a Red Poppy. Really enjoy the change up in styles. Looking forward to tomorrows bottles and sharing with @lefty17

    I'll take credit, just this once, for having thought things through ;-)

    Cheers bud, I suspect you've tasted the next few days... I also suspect you won't mind tasting then again. :rolling_eyes:

    Yea... So?

    Christ Matt, really?!

    Dennis I'm sorry for your shitty day. I really am. It'll turn around!

    That's an Ohio beer. You sure it's not @UcDru?

    In the Velvet Merkin picture looks like you've got pink finger nail polish on.

    Shared six ways.

    Love the blind aspect and starting tomorrow I'll be trying, and sharing, the day 5 beer and try to pick out what it is without looking at the label.

    The replacement box arrived from @Syracuse12 , despite UPS' best efforts to the contrary. There really was no need for this, and it will come as no shock to anyone that my man killed it yet again!

    [​IMG]

    Excited for all of them... Especially 7/11 :grinning:

    Then there's day 4...a more bizarre combination I'm not certain I've seen... And yet... It works! My wife even asked for multiple sips :grimacing::grimacing:

    Cheers bud! You're a solid guy and I'm thankful for you as a sender!!

    I actually peeked last night to see what I had to share with friends tonight. I've not yet done that and will really try to pick it out tomorrow. Of course it'll help if there's a brewery logo on top!
