Since I haven't heard any objections or alternate suggestions, we're going to go with Saturday, Feb. 11 for the coordinated VBS. Let's say 6:00 CST (but if that doesn't work for our west coast friends, I'm ok with moving it later). Remember, taste blind (at least for part of the bottle), try to guess, and post a picture in this thread! I know some others who can't do it on Saturday, but will be doing theirs on the day before/after, so if Saturday doesn't work, feel free to do the same. A final note: no matter when you do your blind bottle tasting, PLEASE post a photo in this thread. Best Box voting will take place when all of the blind bottles have been consumed, and we want to take these into account when voting for best box (presumably because there will be some pretty badass blind bottles).
Dear target, your bomb is at your front door, please be careful bringing it in. Please post the pr0n when you do so, or at least post something
Just got notified that there was a 'delivery exception' and some oversized boxes are waiting for me in the basement storage of my apartment building. Apparently @rspauldi exceeded the maximum volume that one person is allowed to store in the lobby. Holy crap! Now the bad news: I do not think I'll be home to open them until 10:30PM! This is going to be the longest work day ever, but at least it will be a really fun homecoming! Pics will be posted tonight!
@corm44 has destroyed my porch and utterly decimated my wants list! Seriously, I pretty much have no wants left. Pics to come this evening once I clean up the porch debris and lift my chin off the ground! Crazy awesome box!
@azuelke Straight murdered my porch! Holy shit dude, I'm gonna need another beer fridge! Thanks so much for your generosity, I can't wait to try all of these!

I forgot to label the growler, but suck it down ASAP. Hops, it'd be a shame if they went old Take a guess, I'll let you know what it is. I went a little overboard, but nothing like a straight up porch fuck to bring in a new newbie! Enjoy @Burrass
Yeah @Burrass, just suck down that gallon of hops! Looks like at least a DIPA if not a TIPA! Right up your alley!
@azuelke you absolutely killed it, nice job man! All I can think is "these poor newbies..." On another note, @WesHowl ninja strikes again! Apparently he noted some comment I made about the rum DBC/TF and swiftly delivered this nice little NC bomb to my doorstep. Excited to finally try Heist and Burial for the first time as well, and I'm not familiar with Birdsong aside from seeing Wes send a few of these out, but they sound great. Thanks so much Wes!
