    Big thanks to JAS45678 for the box. Now it's **** TIME!

    Family shot:

    The Big Ones:

    [​IMG]

    Arbor Brewing Sodibo 2013 Barrel Aged Blonde Ale
    Arcadia Special Edition Cellar Aged 3 Years Cereal Killer Barleywine
    Brad Brothers Rye Wyne Ale (Aged in Templeton Rye Whiskey barrels)
    North Coast/Rogue/Deschutes Class of '88 Barleywine (Managed to snag some of the Deschutes via trade, this saves me from tracking this one down locally)

    The Little Ones:

    [​IMG]

    The Brew Kettle White Rajah (permawant)
    Fat Head's Head Hunter (permawant)
    Bell's Two Hearted (permawant)
    Bell's Third Coast Old Ale 2011 (want - love this aged)
    Kuhnhenn Triple Rice India Pale Ale (should have been want - the brewery has been on my radar for some time, glad to finally try something)
    Kuhnhenn Aldebaran Ale
    OddSide Bean Flicker (Coffee infused blonde)
    Greenbush Brother Benjamin Imperial IPA
    Short's Anniversary Ale
    Short's Strawberry Short's Cake
    Short's Mmmkay
    Rochester Mills Milkshake Stout

    The Barrel Aged Little Ones:

    [​IMG]

    Kuhnhenn Bourbon Barrel 4th Dementia (holy fuck yes want!)
    Thirsty Dog Bourbon Barrel Siberian Night Imperial Stout
    Thirsty Dog Bourbon Barrel Wulver Wee Heavy
    Arcadia Barrel Aged Cereal Killer (Looking forward to putting this up against the 3-year. Now I need to track down a standard for a true tasting)
    Hair of the Dog Bourbon Fred from the Wood 2013 (super want)
    Jolly Pumpkin Oro de Calabaza (Bottled: 12-22-2011) (want)

    Needless to say, he crushed it. Hit a bunch of wants, hooked me up with some standard drinking beer, and demolished what little space I have left in the cellar. The BA 4th Dementia and Oro de Calabaza floored me. Super excited to start making my way through a bunch of stuff I've never had/never thought to look for. Thanks for the killer box.

    Sidenote: He packed this thing like a beast. I could have punted it and not lost a bottle.

    These two beers may not have been the biggest "holy shit!" moment of the box, but they both really surprised me. Killer haul man, enjoy!

    Agreed. I love me some Siberian Night and if they managed to barrel aged well, it's going to be the box killer. Amped all around.

    oh they barrel aged well...they barrel aged very well. The Wulver is better IMO, which is saying a lot.

    Hint 1: Does my target even know he's in this BiF?! (He does..)
    Hint 2: I visited my target's city for a college bowl game once.....
    Hint 3: That bowl game had a shitty "stadium"
    Hint 4: My target has very few wants, and even though I'll be hitting some, I wish he hadn't chosen only wants outside of my distro...
    Hint 5: My box will be going south.
    Hint 6: My target is in a different time zone than I.
    Hint 7: The box will go more west than south...if I were to ride a bike it'd take 78 hours according to google if I slept 3 8hr nights and biked non-stop the rest.

    Target(you should know who you are), I just dropped off 45lbs and it's on your way shortly. Right around 300 oz. and a sweet piece of glass. I forgot to put my name in it...but it'll be a Home Depot box with towels in it.

    Be careful with the towels...there are surprises inside. You can keep the towels...they are some of the finest hotel towels around. I believe there's a Hampton-Inn Greeley, CO vintage in there as well as a Homewood Suites outside Chicago piece. Dry yourself off.

    Looks like my package is at its location and waiting to be picked up. I sure hope some less amazing hauls get posted soon so I dont feel that my boxes were too inadequate for this BIF. :grimacing:

    Not saying you're my target...I'm not saying you're not my target. But according to FedEx, it's only 2 days from here to there. I'll post tracking hints once I actually get a number(aka the dude/dudette puts it on the truck).

    Tried to send some you haven't tried, which wasn't easy. Did I forget to put in a BA Dystopia?

    To my sender, I got your GuerrillMail. Excited for my delivery. But who could you be? I have a pretty short list of possibilities.

    Just did a double check of the box. Nothing left in there. Very happy with 19 new beers. The sheer number of bottles in the box was staggering.
