    Mike Gordon up close and personal! He is just as dreamy as I'd imagined.

    Must have had a lasting impression. I started in round two, and I don't think he was in that one either.

    Thanks to Stephen for the box! Just got home to open and unbox it all!

    Inside was :

    KBS - I believe this years KBS, which is always a classic
    Dark Horse - Plead the 5th from what appears to be 2015! Can't wait to try that.
    Oddside - Funky Soul Brother, another that super stoked to try! Love dry hopped anything
    Oddside - Hazel's Nuts, Hazelnut is my favorite adjunct in a beer.
    Weybacher - Sunday morning stout, I've had this and it is really a home run in my books!

    New Holland - Dragons Milk reserve with chocolate and coffee, sounds like a winner to me
    Jolly Pumpkin - Hamajang, Collab with Evil Twin and Mikkeler, don't know much about this but how can you go wrong with it?!
    Perrin - No Rules, another that I can't wait to open but at 15% and a bomber gonna have to share it with some friends!
    New Holland - Dragons Milk Reserve with chocolate and coffee....might have to crack this one first thing when the rains hit this week.
    Dark Horse - Zaftig Ghastly Pale Stout, don't know much about this but definitely has me intrigued
    Oddside - Scallywagger, this is gonna be one to try a BA IPA with pineapple?!
    Oddside - Imperial blood stout! This is another one Im not familiar with but excited to try.
    Oddside - Colossal oversight, Barleywine aged in bourbon and cognac barrels, the cognac might win me over here!

    Plus some dinner! Velveta Mac and cheese!

    Thanks again man!

    @JoeyIce3 can you send a spreadsheet of the participants to @JNForsyth ? I have a chart but I haven't been there in a few days. TIA.

    Ok it looks like almost all of the boxes landed, time to make good on this offer:

    So in summation I'll be sending a box of beer and this little beauty donated but @smanson56:

    For what the participants of this current round vote for as the best overall box.

    Originally I was going to link all of the hauls but I'm short on time as always so please send me a BM with your vote for what you feel is the best box. Criteria is up to you, you can vote for yourself if you want but I'll probably just delete the message if that happens and come here to ridicule you in public, your choice.

    Box will consist of "wants" if I can hit any, if not it will be some really good beer and a sweet bottle opener.

    Voting is now open, will close this down and work on the box when a majority vote occurs or someone has an insurmountable lead.

    Cheers not-so-newbies!
