    Man, I pay attention to the St. Bernardus Day thread and the NBW thread and this one goes nuts. Gotta be more flexible or something to keep up!

    Like I tell my family. I can either keep my job or check into all the Beer Advocate threads I ‘need’ to follow. I simply can’t do both.

    My wife just walked into my home office with a rather stern look on her face. She didn’t speak, she just pointed down the hallway towards the front door. I tried to speak but she interjected loudly: “GO!.”

    A little curious - as well as a little scared - I followed her orders only to find a huge box addressed to me sitting comfortably in the middle of the outer vestibule. I peered back at her with a sheepish grin. She said loudly once again: “Put that downstairs NOW, and then go and get the groceries.” As I once again followed instructions, I could hear her muttering “grumble, grumble, grumble, more beer, grumble, grumble.”

    @snaotheus, this behemoth of a box is unexpected and unnecessary, but most welcome. I won’t be able to open until later tonight or tomorrow morning in all likelihood, but will post as soon as I do. Cheers!

    When you go through life with a name like Snot Haus, it changes you.

    Right now my co-workers are wondering what I'm guffawing about while eating my lunch.

    Give me a couple more hours. My son is sick and keeps waking up. Worst case scenario, I open it up tomorrow morning. Sorry.

    2019 CBS, compliments of @Whyteboar. I have had this many times, but this one really hits a sweet spot. I honestly like this more than when it was fresh. Nice mix of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, maple, and vanilla. Some dark fruit comes in to round things off. Great integration of flavors. Thanks, Craig!

    *That’s* where that went!
    Kidding, I have a few more. I didn’t like the’19 as much as the ‘18 when it was fresh but it seemed to have balanced a bit. Maybe I should get them consumed sooner than later, just in case it’s a short window.
    Glad you enjoyed it!

    Hopefully the kiddo is doing better soon!

    It’s nothing serious, just a head cold. He doesn’t like to sleep with a pillow so when he has congestion, it just pools in his nose and throat and he wakes up coughing. We prop his bed up at the head, and he still manages to find a way to get horizontal.

    Im sorry to say it is going to be tomorrow AM. I’ve cancelled my 9 o’clock appointment though, so I’ll have pictures by 10 Eastern at the latest.
