    Tried this one from @WesMantooth:

    [​IMG]

    Straight gold color with a good amount of beige head that is frothy.
    Smell is a lot of bread followed by slight honey and grain
    Bread, malt and caramel. Almost tastes like a Belgian style beer.
    Light to medium body with a good amount of bitterness, very dry.
    Overall: Think this one just had too much of a bread flavor to it for me.

    Thanks Corey!

    Sean,

    You do realize that sometimes your actions have unintended consequences don’t you????

    This one was a long time pub only beer. I was excited to try it and picked up 2 because it was advertised as an ESB. It was disappointing though.

    Official Halloween review
    Some good things, including homages that were not in your face, with a restraint, even if too much, of use of the music score, all overshadowed by some really dumb shit.
    C at best

    Do those rules extend to not inviting participants back?

    I don't think my target has a dozen posts in this thread, never posted my second box and posted 1 of the beers I sent in NBS.

    He was active in the first one he was in. I'll message him and see what's up.

    Thankfully I have had very active recipients in @2beerdogs , @Roguer , @Vidblain , and @larryi86 I consider myself fortunate in that regard.

    Well, yes, getting a Rusty Nail crushed to pieces was definitely unintended. However, I assume you are referring to someone wanting possible payback for me sending a pair of kitchen appliances and a cup, a few beers aging on my shelf, or a smashed bottle (notice the sarcasm to downplay the need to do something to me). So, after careful thought and consideration, I present several options. Please feel free to select the reason to cancel said consequences that resonates best to you:

    A) I won't be on island and wouldn't want any return fire stolen by my neighbor.

    B) I'll tell my mommy on you

    C) No explanation necessary here

    D) My body hurts

    E) Please no

    Sox are up 3-1, over the Dodgers, and have scored 23 runs. If they can somehow match their lowest run output of the series (2) and still win - maybe on a Mookie Betts walk off for MVP! - I can still win this!

    Otherwise it's looking pretty good for @thebeers . (Betts for series MVP is looking doubtful, but I don't remember too many people picking BOS over LA in 5, so I think we've got the inside track right now!)

    I was definitely happy with all those late game runs. Let’s see if the Birds can match last night’s score this morning.

    Our very own @SammyJaxxxx hit me with this one a few years ago. It's amazing how Carton nails every component in this series. Nose, flavor, mouthfeel...All amazing. Pure art in a can.

    Well, it was more of a Thank You box than chaos, although I have nothing against chaos in principle :wink:.

    I don't mean to be a persnickety nit picker, but I'd like to see a slightly higher minimum for H&H posts. I'm thinking at least 5. 2 is literally just responding twice in a week. With all of the wit and whimsy of this grand car crash of commentary, it's just so easy to find SOMETHING to respond to. Even 5 seems small, but we are trying to come up with a minimum.
