    Warning: The following pics contain Big & Black and may be considered NSFW.

    First, I see jack went along with the box in a box method and used Hops to through off the scent on the beer inside.

    After getting the initial layer's of tape cut open I then had to deal with this.... (I purposely got my floors in the pic for you know who...:wink:)

    [​IMG]

    I loved the use of hops to throw off the scent of what was to follow, and about 3 weeks worth of newspaper shipped from IL to PA as well.

    Once I was able to dig through the second box, I was looking at this..

    Now the fun begins to unravel everything. First up are twins I have been dying to try for a while now:

    [​IMG]

    Pipeworks - Ninja vs. Unicorns. Disclaimer - Not sure why this pic turned out sideways..

    Next up are two beer's I have not had, but have heard great things about.
    [​IMG]

    Goose Island - Bourbon County Brand Stout
    Eviltwin Brewing - I Love You With My Stout

    These two were followed up by

    [​IMG]

    Modern Times - Black House - This will be my first MT Beer!!!!
    Deschutes - The Abyss 2013 - Got a 2014, will also grab a 2015 and have a nice vertical!
    Stone Collab - w00tstout 3.0 - Had one a few weeks back, great beer!

    Then came....
    [​IMG]

    Epic Brewing - Big Bad Baptist - Excellent Beer
    AleSmith - Old Numbskull - Never even heard of this one. Cannot wait!
    New Glarus - Raspberry Tart - I don't think you can every have too many NG Beers!

    Now, What good is all this beer without proper glassware, right? Luckily, @newjack took care of this too. I got my first snifter and it should be plenty big for these beers.
    [​IMG]

    New Belgium - Snifter
    Revolution Brewing - barrel glass

    Lastly, a group shot.

    Pretty solid box all in all. Really excited to try the new ones and revisit the old ones as well. Thank you very much @newjack

    Hmm. The pictures show up correctly on my mac and when I upload, but for some reason they are being rotated 90 degrees on BA.

    I will. Are the hops Amarillo or Cascade by chance? They smell familiar, but I can't quite place it.

    I'll have to double check what I sent.
    I grow Cascade, Columbus, Centennial and Willamette in my backyard/

    Awesome. I use most of those in my IPA's and other beers.
