This BIF was a blast - a big thank you to Mizzouguy for all the beers, and thanks to Isaac for organizing this!


*RIP Cucumber Saison...you were opened, enjoyed, and then inadvertently recycled.

 

So sad this one had to end. But I guess if it did have to end Iadler did it with a bang! Tonight it was Curmudgeon's Better Half. A beer that is a huge want always and one of the best beers I've ever had. This was such a blast thanks again Isaac!!!

 

I'm very sad to see this end too. Opening these bottles the way we did gave me something to look forward to. Thanks for putting this together Isaac, and thanks rjm217 for shipping me some awesome beers.

The 8th night delivered. I've been looking for one of these for a while. I cant wait to try it. I have some non BA Batch 9000's and have really enjoyed them. This can only be better.....right?

Bourbon Barrel Aged, Batch 9000


Photos aren't working for some reason. I will add it tomorrow.

 

For me day 8 reveals Darkness 2009 - thanks Mista! I am going to put together a little vertical with a friend for 4 years. I am really happy to have been a participant and I hope that I did our OP proud with the box I sent to him. I can't wait to do this again!!!

Thank you again boatshoes for this awesome haul - you crushed it.

Thanks to iadler for running this - I didn't know what to expect from this one but it was a fantastic BIF.

And thanks to everybody for what looks like great hauls across the board. It's always great when everybody gets a good box!

 

Glad you liked the box, that Bligh's is a 2011, I was gonna put a mini-vertical in with a 2012, but it wasn't released in time. Enjoy! Thanks to iadler for running this and my own awesome haul from mdaschaf. Pics still to come when I get a few minutes back home!

 

Here is the BAB9K

 

Here is the full line-up, missing the growler of Dark Horse Thirsty Trout. Im currently spinning up a yeast starter in the growler for todays brewing session. Going to brew a robust porter which i will add persimmons to in the secondary.

 

So i hear. Looking forward to it.

 

Let me know how the Darkness'09 is holding up. I haven't had one in a while.

 

I hope you enjoy that bottle. The barrel aging did wonders for it. One of my all time favorite beers.

I'll post all mine up later tonight.

 

Alright, so I tried to put the collection together and gave up. I drank some cellared some, and yeah, it's not looking good for a get together.

However here is a listing, and a final pic of the last bottle.
