    I think that's a joke but it's too close to the truth to be able to tell

    Let me start by saying that Belgium beers typically aren't my favorite. Something about the yeast is off putting to me. With that said I really enjoyed this beer. The cinnamon was very present and I thought it blended well with the other flavors. They did a phenomenal job with the packaging/presentation. Not a 5 star beer, but a solid well produced local beer (brewery is 10 minutes from my house).

    Yeah I was really impressed with the packaging, the level of detail on it is astounding... and must have cost a mint. I'm definitely looking forward to trying it, I just need to get it into the fridge so it doesn't get lost on the shelf with everything else.

    I also really love the opener you sent with it, I wasn't kidding when I said it's the coolest one I own, I put that in my post because I liked it so much that, knowing full well how many fucks she'd give, I had to go and show my wife.

    Well, at least you know Dave is your sender!



    And speaking of sending boxes, a note to my target: the box is in fact no where near the volume of many in this round, in fact is it only a bottle or two above the minimum. With that said, I put a lot of thought into what I put into the box so I hope that its relatively small stature does not leave you disappointed.

    Also, the box should be shipped out today; I haven't decided if I'm willing to test my luck with FedEx so close to getting a nastygram, but if I do it will arrive Saturday, if I go with UPS it'll arrive Monday. As much as I'd like you to receive it during, rather than after, the weekend; I'm thinking a safe arrival is more important than a speedy one.

    My wife/wifes family owns a used car dealership and she took my POS in to get fixed and surprised me with getting it detailed also. She took it in Monday (the day I noticed my chain was missing) she was off Wed and she goes into work today and BOOOOOOOM my chain is hanging from the mirror when she got to work today. OH HAPPY DAY. I am on a beer break until I leave for the honeymoon due to a competition I am doing to start the honeymoon but I might go home and have a beer to celebrate.

    Thanks @Dave_Treat for looking I truly do appreciate it and the bells and other stuff of course were to disguise the bottle noise if any. You also have another box coming for the round 7 with some glassware and more beer.

    There aren't many touchdowns that will be happening in Chicago this season, but these are the best ones to look forward to.

    I suspect we will lose again, but I don't think it will be a blowout. This is what I have been reduced to, hoping our losses are at least competitive. Sad

    I grew up a Bears fan so these are my two teams, hopefully a good game.

    Normally I also give annoying clues to figure out your tracking number, but didn't have time to do so this round. And while I THOUGHT you had figured it out, I wasn't 100% sure you knew. Then I actually had your address wrong (2 digits transposed in both the directory and in Mike's "target" note to me, but by googling your name and street name I was able to get the right address!!)

    I also sort of feel bad that I wasn't shipping to @Dave_Treat ...
