    Day 3 from @OEB .... bottle came paired with Extra Pumpkin Spice bubble gum, a TCHO chocolate bar, and ...chocolate covered pumpkin seeds? Not quite sure, but these little things are freakin' delicious.

    Beer has strong pumpkin spices, with hints of chocolate. Opening up the brown paper doesn't help at all. The bottle is covered in bats!

    After finally chasing away those flying rats, I was able to determine it's St Arnold Pumpkinator. Really delicious beer! Thanks again @OEB , and where the heck did you get these chocolate covered pumpkin seeds? I am addicted!

    Day 3 Bottle from @jschott75

    Blind tasting. White wax doesn't give away any details.

    Smell and taste is definitely a sour. A bit of vanilla and barrel in the taste. Can't really figure out what it is. The dark chocolate bar is really good but is a bit misplaced with the flavors.

    And the reveal

    Bruery 2014 White Chocolate. Definitely unexpected. I'm not sure but I'm thinking probably infected. Definitely didn't get anything but sour and a hint of vanilla which is a bummer since the description sounds like it would be great

    Day 3
    I know it's Night Shift from the cap. I'm saying a stout with spices.

    Went right for the Jackie O's glass when I saw the bottle. Nice bourbon barrel flavors with chocolate and nuts?

    @Elkevjoe threw me off with the chocolate peanut butter buckeyes...this is a great BA stout. Not getting much coffee but still delicious! Thanks!

    Enjoyed my day 3 beer, forgot to take the pre-reveal photo, tasted coconut and coffee, knew it was funky buddha, so thought it had to be last snow, and it was!

    Tried this once before and enjoyed it, tasting great again.

    This smells like a barleywine to me. Bourbon barrel with a slight tartness to it. Taste is caramel, bourbon, and nuttiness.

    Day 3 proves good things come in small packages!

    Coffee Okie and maybe the first time I've ever had a 100 Grand candy bar. @HeartofMiami is killing this round. First three days have been awesome, and I'm sure the home stretch will continue that trend.

    Glad you're enjoying! Saw the Coffee Okie was a want and 100 Grand was my favorite candy bar when I was a kid...two great tastes that taste great together

    Catching up from day 2 beer last night.

    We were all over on the blind tasting. Is that toffee, Carmel, nutmeg? After seeing what it was it all came together. Tasted like French toast. Funky Buddah French toast.

    Guessed Wicked Weed based on bottle shape. Knew it was a fruited sour but couldn't figure our what it was. Framboos Morte. Excellent.
