    Hey targets, help me out. If you would be interested in receiving some mead in your box, like this post.

    Shit, anyone who would like mead go ahead and like it and I'll take a screenshot for future reference.

    Not liking because I don't want to be in your crosshairs for the second part of your post.

    I promise that liking or not liking the post will have no bearing on how likely or not likely I am to send anyone a box.

    Scout's honor, this one isn't a trap. I just don't want to send mead to anyone who wouldn't want it.

    Everything is intact, including the delicate glass. Except the pork jerky. That’s not holding up too well. :wink::rofl:

    Thank you! Pics later!

    Ok, people. @y2kawakami hammered me. Real hard. Let me start out by saying that if you’re in need of Male Enhancement Services, these are the truth, cause I’m raging right now.

    So, Mr. @Nichols33 strikes again. This time with a sweet swag/food box that included a couple new ticks.

    First, chocolate lavender almonds from Q's Nuts, followed by some Flagship Blend coffee from Treehouse, stone ground mustard made with Mo pale ale from Maine Beer Co, a sweet glass and a new collar for the pooch from Trillium and a Focal Banger sticker. Jeff was kind enough to include a couple beers-Juice Machine (want) and New Flesh from Freaky Folk Bier. Both are new ticks for me. Thanks so much Jeff. Incredibly thoughtful and generous.

    Getting after @TheGent ’s big blind beer. I had my suspicions on what brand it could be...
    [​IMG]
    I’ve been fortunate to try some of these variants of beers from members of this group and I am just as excited to try this one. I gave some to my wife to assist too.
    [​IMG]
    Pours dark with an opaque body, minimal khaki colored head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, bourbon, caramel, coconut, cinnamon.
    Taste: chocolate, big coffee initially, cherry pits, and more coffee at the finish. Dark chocolate, burnt coffee ( in a good way). Spicy cinnamon.

    Smooth, velvety, low carbonation.

    This is a Bourbon County...does not taste like the bourbon county coffee I’ve had. It’s definitely a new variety that I’ve not had. It is tasty as always

    I was ready to reveal the beer and Mrs. Strohme2 said:
    “I have to live with you being a nerd, let me see what it is” She asked me what I thought it might be and I said the Cafe de Olla.

    [​IMG]

    I didn’t get much in the way of orange peel or citrus. The coffee and cinnamon Is definitely present especially as it warms.

    Super happy to get to try it, thanks Anthony! It was a nice sipper sitting on the back deck.

    @Franfab dropped some Garrett popcorn on me because I need to gain more quarantine weight. It's a mixture of caramel and cheese popcorn. The caramel popcorn in particular is crazy good.

    Thanks, man! This makes for some good snackin' while we're watchin Ramy!
