    @Devman171 . I was hesitant about participating in this BIF but Devin sent me a surprise 6DOT box that I enjoyed immensely leading me to give this a shot. I was surprised but also extremely happy to see Devin turn out to be my sender. He did an absolutely great job hitting my requests (very stringent week day rules) and hitting me with local'ish beer that was fantastic! Kill shot to come. Thanks Devin, I owe you. And I hope that statement sends a shiver down both your, and your porches, spines...
    Cheers!

    Great finale dude! I had no idea Allagash made such tasty sours!

    Great way to end the 12 days and very appropriate for a Tuesday. Huge want hit here. Thanks @tommyguz for a fun 12 days full of new and delicious brews.

    Day 11- Cherry Fruit Stand(Montmorency 8/26/15)-Casey Brewing & Blending
    This is my second time having this batch, and I swear this bottle has more fruit flavor. Also, look at that color.

    Day 12- Saison Bernice- SARA
    This one has been a major want for a while and one of the highlights in a crazy 12 days of great beer.

    Could you imagine the hellfire and brimstone that would happen in the beer world if Cantillon or 3F ever had a non-intended infection (that people could tell)?

    Oops...forgot to tell you that I gave you 5 bottles on day 12 because they all go together but I don't expect you to drink them all tonight since I know that you are back to work
    Whatever you don't get to is considered an extra

    BTW, did you make it to the last floater? No pressure really, but interested in your opinion as very few of my friends have had it since it was a brewery-only thing. Had it a couple weeks ago and rather liked it.

    I stumbled in to 2 of those this year, and I agree it was really really good.

    Thank god, haha. 60 oz of 11% beer might not have gone over too well

    Catching up on my Day 10 beer. Russian Mail Order Bride (tequila barrel) from Green Bench. Woody, roasty, tequila kick on the finish. New brewery tick for me. Thanks @kayakandbeer!

    As the 12 DoX come to a close, I have to send out a huge thank you to @oline73 for all the awesome beer and glassware he sent me. Many of these I may have never tried if not for him. I enjoyed the hell out of this experience and looked forward to unwrapping each new beer like a kid on Christmas.

    For today he sent #1 & 2 (I see what you did there) of the 18th St. Hunter Series... Coffee & Vanilla! I hadn't heard about these prior to this year and am so glad I get to try them. After seeing the apparently widespread infection issues of the Coffee I chose to start with the it to confirm my suspicions.
    [​IMG]
    Yep, unfortunately it's infected but Steve couldn't have known. It didn't gush and still has a bit of coffee but something is definitely up. I finished most of this glass before giving up on the bottle. After this I popped the Vanilla to better results:

    This is not only the final beer of the 12 Days of Christmas but the final beer of my 20s. Thanks again Steve for everything you sent! By the way, here's the family shot:

    Thanks Mike for sending an awesome box to Drew because I was lucky enough to share a couple days with Drew. Nothing you could do about it, but unfortunately this was infected pretty badly.:wink:

    Feeling melancholy today as I unwrap the last 2 bottles from @campa86
    [​IMG]
    It took 12 days for Mike to leave the state of Cali & I'm glad he did. BB Oil of Aphrodite is really tasty & this is my first time having it; I've had regular before but that's it.

    Day 12 "back up" is Oro Negro which is yet another want & I can't wait to get to into it

    [​IMG]
    (The beers out front are the "main beers" based on blind choice with the "back up beers" being in back. I've finished all of the beers except for 3 which will be consumed by weeks end)
    Here is the kill shot with 2 beers per day for 12 days featuring the best that Cali has to offer & then some. Lots of variety & big beers throughout paired with a fun game makes this one of the best boxes that I have ever received.
    I can't thank @campa86 enough!

    First, thanks to all of you crazy fuckers for including me in this BIF. This has been a blast. I really hope Larry @kayakandbeer has enjoyed the box I sent. The best part has been seeing all the cool stuff that people have been forced to open.

    Second, thanks to @robgage for sending a great box full of new ticks and generally excellent beer (kill shot will come tomorrow when I recover from Day 12). You knocked every day out of the park.

    Third, thanks to @Dave_Treat for organizing and running this. I had tons o' fun.

    And finally, a little Day 12 pr0n...

    My Day 12 beer... 2015 Black Tuesday. Rob, I kinda hate you and I kinda love you.

    I shared BT with my dad and Drew. And @UcDru brought his Day 12 over to share tonight.
    [​IMG]

    And to celebrate not dying of liver failure (and because I get pretty liberal after a couple beers) we decided this would be a fitting end to the evening.

    Cheers to all you crazy assholes!
