    It worked out perfectly. I had to pick someone up from JFK so I swung by OH for some growler fills for extras. Apparently they don't accept the type of growler I brought, but had these bottles left. Glad you enjoyed it!

    Day 5 brought what appeared to be an Avery offering, based on the gold foil and 12oz bottle.


    Poured incredibly dark. Tasted fantastic, almost like some coffee but I think it is from the barrel. This beer is incredible and my only thought was Tweak, but I know the good Doc wouldn't send a Tweak.

    Reveal:


    I've never heard of this beer, Black Eye, from 2014 but wow, it is great. It has held up to the test of time. The 18.82% probably helped there. I'm sad the Summer Sixer is ending, but can't wait to see what @Kramerbarthomer has left for me. Cheers Mike!

    Well here we are at Day 6, I'm sorry to see this end.
    Day 6 brought a plane gold cap so no help there. Just a hint of gushing when the bottle was opened. Pour a golden orange color lots of oak in the nose I don't get any fruit either in the nose or from the taste. Nice oaky taste tart and fairly dry.

    The more I drink the better it gets but still no idea what this is some sort of BA Saison is about all I get. Well on to the reveal.

    And it is Pinot de la Casa from Casa Agria another great beer from my sender @Dave_Treat
    I'll be back with the final kill shot in a bit

    my third of my surprise tmaummer threer from @andreizm and the greatest one yet.

    [​IMG]

    This is one of my favorite beers of all time and so happy to revisit it (only time I had it before was at a large share in 2016), it lives up to my memory.

    Thanks Andrei for the surprise threer, incredible generous and fun. Watch yo porch if you dont sign up for 12 DoX, paying it forward might come to a porch near you.

    Day 6 brings another beer/brewery I've never had before. Capped and a cork? That's something I've never seen before.

    [​IMG]

    It's obviously a Cantillon beer because it says it on the cork (I'm a detective in my spare time), but I would have no clue as to what it could be. Real sour/funky with no hints of fruit. Very interesting and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it.

    [​IMG]

    Cantillon - Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio. Not just a new brewery, but a style I've never tried before. As it's warmed up, I've liked it a lot more. Super excited to have this and it's real refreshing after doing a bunch of yard work this morning.

    Thank you, @PassMeAZima. These six days have been real awesome, though my liver may be glad they're coming to an end.

    Day 6 from @valrxman

    [​IMG]

    This is amazing, definitely Casey peaches, but it can’t be...

    [​IMG]

    It is! I’m super psyched to get a bottle of this to myself! Thanks for the great round Steve! Group shot to follow.

    Day 6

    No clue where this is from, it's a plain silver cap with wax. Tastes like a tart saison but definitely #teamstonefruit

    Onto Day 6 from @corm44, which brings a new style (for this round) to the mix: a stout!


    Got some citrus on the nose and the taste has a creamy vanilla to it.

    Grimm Sumi Zest! Thanks Dustyn for a great round of local brews!

    And here's the kill shot.

    [​IMG]

    Thanks again, @PassMeAZima, these beers were all excellent and I would never have had the opportunity to try them without this BIF.

    Thanks, too, to @mervmurry for running this and letting me be a part. I really enjoyed virtually hanging out with all of you.
