    Damn, meant to post this last night but apparently didn't hit send.

    Not familiar with the bottle style so really unsure what to expect.
    Pours a dark brown/black with two fingers of head that stuck around. Initial thought is stout or porter but leaning towards stout as it appeared fairly thick.
    Smells of coffee, maple, dark roasty malts.
    Taste is medium roast coffee, light maple notes, maybe some vanilla. As it warmed the maple notes faded, coffee lingers, sweet creamy coffee. Not getting any barrel notes.
    Smooth thick body with good carb levels.
    Overall a tasty brew!
    And the reveal is Double Shot Vanilla bean, excellent beer here ![​IMG]

    First I have to write the algorithms and set up my statistical models. Then calculate the remaining target boxes to be sent as that is the biggest variable in the equation.

    Given that I am way too lazy to actually do any work, I will most likely take a wild ass guess. I will do this tonight while dog sitting daughter #1 dog.

    Last night I hit up the mystery beer courtesy of @Dragginballs76



    Pop the can and immediately see it's a dark beer, roasty on the nose so I'm guessing stout. Pours dark with some good carbonation. First sip surprises me as it's thinner than I expected, thinking a porter now. Let it warm up a bit and I start to get some barrel for sure, so now I'm back to stout, and a BA one. There is something else in here but I can't pin point it. I don't think it's fruit, but there is an adjunct in here, not vanilla, not coffee. Either way, I'm quite enjoying this beer.

    Let x equal the number of beers you’ve had.

    Let y equal the number of wines you’ve had.

    A good starting point at least!

    Good Night Nobody from Bhramari Brewing!

    I completely missed the Almonds and Coconut, surprising since coconut beers are my favorite (in Richard Christy voice).

    The name of this beer is awesome too! I read Goodnight Moon to my girls over a thousand times so this made me chuckle.

    Thanks @Dragginballs76 !!

    Well if I post to this thread every beer I drink that I have gotten from fellow BIFers (is this a word) and recent trades, then we should hit 100 pages in the next day or two!

    You are in the exact middle of all of the guesses now. Seems appropriate. Something tells me you’re either going to win, or be very close to the true time/date.

    That was my sober guess. Do the rules allow for a not sober guess also?

    I wasn’t going to enter, but I have recently come across a change of decision.

    I will go with 10/23 4 pm.

    & oh, I almost forgot! If I win, I would like to see it forwarded to @EMH73

    See what happens when you associate with @Dragginballs76 Evan? :wink::stuck_out_tongue::blush:

    First off, I don't know what's wrong with imgur, I've been trying to post this picture for 3 days now and can't get anything to upload to it after I did the haul pics.

    Anyway, I opened the mystery beer from @LloydDobler and got smacked it the face with peanut butter. Beer pours pretty dark with a small khaki head. Awesome nutty peanut butter aromas combine with roasty malt and some lighter chocolate and coffee. On the palate it is fairly light in body and again big creamy PB flavors with roasted coffee. Doesn't feel thick enough for a stout...so I'm leaning peanut butter porter.

    The reveal
    [​IMG]
    Metazoa Puppy Slumber Peanut Butter Milk Stout. Close, but not quite on the nose. I hardly ever drink stouts that arent imperial these days lol, so I should've been clued in by the sweeter finish to it being a stout and not a porter. All in all a great little beer, thanks Chris!

    And @r0rschach I guess I gotta do a better job of checking to make sure you haven't had too many of the beers in your second box. Glad you already liked the repeats I sent, both of those are a couple localish favorites of mine too.

    Side note, I'm actually in Dallas this weekend for the Tenacious D concert, and if this is your neck of the woods in Texas, any spots you'd recommend hitting for food or beers that aren't too far of a drive? I'll DM you, but in case any other BAer has suggestions feel free to throw them my way.

    Cheers guys!

    Every once in a while Imgur refuses to upload on my phone. To fix it I uninstall it, then reinstall it, it then works. You might want to try that.
