SAVAGES (v2) Hints/Hauls

I can't see a lot of the boxes dropping today but the responses mean they must be damn good @r0rschach and @JBowenGeorgia !

I CAN see this one though and holy shit that Central Waters.

After what you've been doing to everyone else @CanConPhilly you deserve some fitting retribution!!

 

Well, it was a struggle, and I wasn't sure it would make it, but I was able to somehow get what @FFFjunkie sent me to home from the post office.

HOLY COW! I'm going to be going stout crazy, and that's a good thing that it's getting very cold around here.

I've had Dino S'mores, and loved it, and will love it again. First ever Bottle Logic, and it looks to be a beast. 3 kinds of Deth from Revolution. I'm in awe, and blown away here.I just can't thank you enough for your extreme generosity, and these beers will be enjoyed.

 

Nice hit @FFFjunkie

Mystery beer from @Vidblain which I have regretfully neglected until tonight.

Pours a dark hazy bronze color. 3 fingers of head settles slowly, mix of different sized bubbles eventually taper to mostly small.

Nose is really malty- getting apple, apricot, some orange and white grape too. Maybe some grass on the finish. You could convince me from the nose that this is a lager.

Taste is much different from the nose. Lots of American hops up front, pine, resin, grapefruit. I'm picking up some heat like this was in a barrel. There's some caramel and honey, maybe a little raisin in the middle- sweetness but pretty soft and smooth, taking a backseat to the other notes. The finish reminds me of cognac- grape and wood. There is also a hint of licorice.

Its not quite malty enough to feel like a barleywine for me, and the body is a bit thin. I'm going to guess barrel aged American strong ale (I know, semantics). Definitely going to let this one warm up a bit before I reveal. Cheers @Vidblain, thanks for the fun challenge!

The reveal! Summit English Barleywine. Definitely more hoppy than I'd expect for the style. This reminds me of Bigfoot with a year or two on it. I was also off the mark thinking it was ba. Not a bad beer all things considered. Thanks again @Vidblain! Fun blind review.

 

@r0rschach was nice enough to offer up the Rick and Morty set so my friend and I can binge and tick. I’m pumped to try all of these out! Thanks again for hooking me up John, return fire already enroute!

 

Nice one @r0schach

 

great hit @r0rschach !

 

Hey, Savages! Been a while. Who here likes beer????

 

I know it’s a trap, but I’m here for it. I don’t like beer, I love it!!!

 

beer you say? haha just kidding I'm in the other BIF too with you

 

@Victory_Sabre1973 dropped my second box on me Friday. I slept all yesterday after being up for 24 hours and I'm now sitting here having a beer and watching the best game from the best conference, so I figured I'd share!!!

Pantown - Lighten Up, Francis NEIPA
Pantown - Vantablack Porter
Pantown - Gozer Gose
New Glarus - Berliner Apfel Berliner Weisse
Oliphant x Eastlake - Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant Gose
Wild Mind - Festival of Oak BA American Wild Ale (with swaggy matching glass!)
Hop & Barrel - Harvest Saison

Also there's some tasty looking, diabetes inducing Four Brothers Mineneapple Pie Syrup!

Aside from Wild Mind and New Glarus, I've honestly never had anything from, or even heard of, a lot of these breweries before James hit me with them, and most of them have less than 100 checkins, so I'm excited to see what they're all about! I really appreciate him working with my schedule too. Cheers man!

 

Happy to see everything made it safe and sound. Hope you enjoy them.

 

great hit @Victory_Sabre1973

 

I’ve been known to enjoy one or two.

 

Be careful what you wish for.
