Barrel-Aged BIF Hints & Hauls cont'd

Box just arrived from GRBrew, good thing I know my NFL teams as I had a good feeling he was sending to me.

Here's the pic:


And the list:
BCBS vertical ('09-'12)
KBS '11/'12
Backwoods Bastard '11/'12
2x Dragon's Milk
Sour Homebrew, BBA Flanders Oud Bruin
Sour Homebrew, Wine BA Lambic
Arbor Flamboyant Wild Red
Arbor Demetrius
Founders Glass

Some awesome beers I love, some new stuff, and some homebrew, plus a new glass. Can't do much better! Thanks GRBrew!

 

Looks like it made it a day early. The dragons milk are a 11 and 12. For some reason I had lots of verticals laying around.

 

That Williamsburg Bourbon Barrel Porter should at least be a 99. It's fucking fantastic!

 

Haha, funny, are there any markings on them? I had assumed that since they lacked the big stickers they were the same year.

 

Gah, I'm SMART today... Two hefty boxes have been sitting on my porch and I just realized it a few minutes ago. So... DAYUM, some great stuff, I'm drowning in beer:

• Founders Backwoods Bastard
• Founders KBS ('11)
• New Holland Dragon's Milk
• Goose Island Sofie
• Central Waters Peruvian Morning ('12)
• Central Waters Kosmyk Charlie's Y2K (yeah!)
• Troegs Mad Elf
• Fegley's BA Insidious
• Voodoo Black Magick (love this)
• Founders Old Curmudgeon
• Founders Breakfast Stout

• Troegs Mad Elf gift pack (22oz bomber + a nice piece of glassware)
• Captain Lawrence Barrel Select (I think Mother Barrel? I love CL sours)
• Evolution Menagerie #3 (only had one Evo but really enjoyed it)
• Uinta Oak Jacked Imperial Pumpkin
• Bruery Oude Tart (love this)
• Bruery Melange #3 (big want)
• Bruery Cuir
• Weyerbacher Sour Black
• Cisco Lady of the Woods

Big thanks to chefmonty for all of this! A great mixture of old favorites, wants, and new stuff that I can't wait to crack into. I suspect that my "diet" (and I use that term very loosely) will not be seeing any success this weekend.

 

love those Arbor sours!

 

I came home last night to an awesome box courtesy of duceswild. Totally excited about this one. A ton of wants, should be wants, and things that are new to me. I found out that he has been stalking my wants, hads, and my Untappd for quite awhile to put this together. Very well done. I will post pics of the haul later tonight when I have a chance to photo them.

Tyranena - Who's Your Daddy
Central Waters - Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Cherry Stout

This is a sweet BIF. It's OK that there are still people who haven't received their boxes yet - I'm ready to start round 2!

 

Here is what weather.com has to say about my targets weather.

Next 6 hours

Partly to mostly sunny with temperatures steady near 70F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph.

 

It should have a little thing in the bottom left corner that has the year. Hopefully the stickers on the bottom of the other bottles stayed on.

 

Someone has a box o beer on there Jacksonville porch.

 

Thanks Minnesotaryan. You are a most gracious sender!!! And without further ado...the Haul!

Time to make some tasty risotto

 

Just a heads up, my box rand out of room, there will be another box with a few more bottles and your swag.

 

Also, I was really close to ambushing you at Darkness Day with a bunch of beer, but I didn't have it all figured out, so I waited.

 

My box has arrived in state n should be out for delivery tomorrow.

 

Just got back from 4 days of depositions in the middle of nowhere and no box. Oh where oh where can my box of beer be?

 

My final hint then im done.

My targets ba name is similar to that of a wwf/wwe superstar. He likes to choke slam n tombstone his targets.
