@jonbonfondle Nice, glad you liked it, I can see how you might think it was barrel aged, and it's interesting you didn't pick up coffee on it initially.
Yeah, to me it surprisingly wasn't very coffee-forward at first. It did come out more as it warmed, probably should have let it sit before taking that first pour instead of drinking it straight from the fridge.
It's been a bit quiet in here lately, so let's get over those post-anniversary blues with round 5 - SIX DAYS OF NEWBIE HALLOWEEN. The requirements: six awesome "beer gifts" with candy pairings to be consumed from October 27 - November 1, 90+ Rated beer, or 4.1+ rAvg if there are too few scores for a rating. Beer must be from outside your target's distribution. If you feel compelled to send extras, please limit it to just a few. This round is not about bombing your target, but focused on six days of awesome beer. What makes this round unique is each shipper will provide their target with six individually wrapped beers (bottle, can, growler, etc). Each of these packages will be tagged with the order and/or date on which they should be opened, and each day the target will open the designated package for that day, take a photo and post it, and I guess drink some beer. Minimum ~100 oz. of beer. I trust your judgement, but since the number of beers is limited, we should probably try to avoid a box of exclusively small format beers. Feel free to double up small format beers for a single day, verticals are always fun! This is open to any past participants or lurkers. Newbie Newbies looking to join with fewer than 5 positive trades will require a sponsor - if that's you, just speak up and we'll figure something out! The timeline: Shipping window is the first half of October, and your target absolutely must have their beer in-hand before October 27. Provide me via private message the following information (title the message Newbies Halloween BIF so I can easily reference it.) Name, shipping address, and cellphone number Shirt size (just in case...swag is not required, but is certainly not prohibited) Any 'Do Not Ship' dates (i.e. you’ll be out of town) Untappd username Style likes/dislikes One more thing. In order to pair senders/targetes with someone new, I'd like to gather info about past targets. A spreadsheet will help us keep track for the future, so after you send me a message with your details, please fill this out with your target from each round. If you didn't participate in a round, use an X to indicate that you didn't participate. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WwFfV71TeaZlWkMhdSdQDSNHWZeeSnKKbiEYinnjKh4/edit?usp=sharing I'll keep this open for about two weeks, then I'll get targets out ASAP so the stalking can begin.
Sorry guys/gal, I'm OuT on this round, but if anyone needs a sponsor give me a shout, I'll still be here
