    @dprice sent me a few slushies to finish out the 6 days.

    They were both really good, but the NeverRecover was a whole new level. Great way to finish out the week. Thanks DeShawn

    Day 6 from @jschott75 22oz bomber of thick stout with plain black cap and some Hershey's milk chocolate with almonds nuggets. Chocolate, bourbon barrel, roasty dark malts and some sweetness of vanilla or marshmallow. Nice thick on the verge of chewy mouth feel. This is great but I have no idea what it is.[​IMG]

    Day 6 reveal. Great beer, oak and char from barrel and booze opened up as it warmed. Didn't even know that this was a thing until I saw one here yesterday. Excellent collaboration. After enjoying this immensely I went to watch ND not quite beat up Louisville[​IMG] but a W is a W. Great Saturday thanks @jschott75 [​IMG]

    Day 5 from @BartS

    paired with sour jelly beans. This was a fantastic barrel aged saison. I got stone fruit and wine notes.
    [​IMG]
    SARA Normalcy with nectarine, guava, and Chardonnay lees. I enjoys this one over a couple days as it was just too good.
    Day 6 brought:
    [​IMG]
    another Bottle Logic! This was a vanilla bourbon bomb. Paired beautifully with See’s milk chocolate. This had to be FO!
    [​IMG]
    This years was fantastic. A great slow sipper!

    Day 6 from @Joenap419 is an elegant non-adjunct TH stout with tasty and lingering barrel:

    Tree House Spacetime Continuum with portion of it aged 18 months, and the complexity shows. Great beer to end this Halloween round:

    Thanks for taking me on this Tree House journey that started so innocuously with a 450 Slushy, haha. Also, your candy pairings were very nicely organized. This was all utterly enjoyable @Joenap419, many thanks!

    Day 6 - Sugarfina Chocolate Covered Kona Beans

    [​IMG]

    Dark black pour, a lot of ethanol on the nose. First sip is not very good, lots of off flavor in hard alcohol. As it warms you can get some of the adjuncts underneath. The core of the beer should be very good, but this bottle is unfortunately off

    Reveal:

    Creature Comforts - Concurrence no. 6

    This beer is to a T something I would love. Just unfortunately has some off flavors on it. Overall what a great fucking week from @MTKATL

    I was blown away by the generosity of @MTKATL this week was amazing. Very lucky to have him as my sender. Another good round run by @azuelke

    Late on posting the tasty beers courtesy of @beermanben sent for the Halloween round. What a great box with delicious extras (some were not saved unfortunately). Enjoyed a couple Untitled Art Stouts, a super tasty treat with R&D from New Glarus, fresh Side Project saison, CW Anniversary 22, and finished with my favorite beer of the week (if I had to choose) Fremont 11th Anniversary Stout aged in Heaven Hill barrels.

    Thanks for a killer week enjoying all new ticks and my first Freemont beer! You nailed the styles and mixed it up well. Still working on the massive amount of candy included, which was my wife's favorite part :smile:
