    Finally, after several more unsuccessful attempts I am heading to a sure winner. @Devman171 sent me some surprise beers that have all been AWESOME so heading there.

    Strong coffee notes with whisps of dark and milk chocolate to follow. Hmm, a house flavor I am not familiar with buried in there too. No idea what this is.

    Huh, very good and I haven't heard of it. That's why I love me some locals! Thanks again @Devman171 . You are truly #Local!

    Haha, exactly! Wish I had seen this post just a couple minutes before... Still though, I have come to two realizations from this adventure:
    1 - Two tablespoons of coffee for 30 minutes and a dollop of maple syrup is way too much for 6 oz of BCBS.
    2 - You can not over coffee BCBS.

    NEXT!

    Not impressive after that delicious, delicious maple syrup coffee bomb of a BCBS.

    How is that holding up? I have one bottle left and hoping a buddy is able to get me a cinnamon rolled this year and I then plan on doing my 2012-2015 vert with the French toasted and cinnamon rolled variants with it. Last time I had this was back in like march and the maple was present yet subtle, hoping it hasn't faded too much

    Package landed yesterday while I was out of town. Had to let it dry out since my front yard is a goddamn lake right now. Was a mixed pickitupforme from @PG2G and @Dave_Treat. Thanks guys!

    I spent the day packing up a couple boxes that will go out Monday to deserving locals and trying(failing) to get my beer/packing supplies sorted and stored. Tired and frustrated so I needed this. Thanks @rspauldi!

    More funky Pipeworks bottle art. This is Vanilla Abduction, going down smooth. I had a small share here last night so I forgot to post, but everyone enjoyed beer #3, which was Three Floyds' Pear Bear. Cheers!

    Day 4 courtesy of @PassMeAZima !!

    [​IMG]

    Apparently a few days ago I posted I had not had this, but I have once before at a share apparently. Either way, it was on my WANTS and it ended up on my box, and I couldn't be more excited. This is a great brew. I am, however, a bit confused now. This one was labeled "Light" but there's another beer I haven't opened yet labeled "Light - Sour"... mislabeled or should I be worried, as if this isn't considered sour... I wonder how sour the other one must be? :confused::confused::confused:

    Day 4, another awesome bet from Matt. @whyteboy003 is killing it.

    One of these things is meh, the other is out of this world. That glass in the middle and what it stands for is pretty amazing too!

    Glad you liked @HoppySeb ! I have to give credit to @Kramerbarthomer for the assist on this one. He hooked us both up.

    You guys are too nice, it's all the camera. You get a decent enough lens and read a couple of books and the pics take themselves.

    Yeah man, this was one of those beers I saw everyone checking in and I really wanted to try it. So glad @Mikexw made it happen. Perfect amount of coffee and super smooth.
