It's gonna be a lot more economical for me to get a six pack shipper. Seems I have two to go!

Jdl, that's a pretty fantastic selection right there. Does Founders still do the Backwoods Bastard?

Anesthetist, have you tried the Schlafly Raspberry Coffee Stout? They make it for Schnucks, not sure if it's out right now but it's killer.

xtc, slated for release in November.

So some Belgian medal winners in the WBA 2014… Funny co-incidence: Boon Oude Kriek got gold for best Belgian sour, Rodenbach Vintage silver for best barrel aged sour... We open Seul's kitchen fridge (and I honestly did NOT just put them there!!!):

PS: you can tell this is my brother's fridge more or less… Rueda white wine (which I hate) and sugared dairy nonsense

12C° outside, so placed some beers on my balcony…

Picked this'un… Sealed with black wax!.. And poured a black beer with a tan head... Which I emptied in the sink after half of it... Very bad smell, unbalanced and way too boozy (whiskey, not bourbon)...

Which batch is the H&V? I loved the 666

ETA: Duhhh, overlooked the bottled date. Reviews seem mixed a bit more on various run dates.

For those really interested in shipping.

Best bet for postal service shipping, which cuts overall cost.

What do you put on the customs form to keep the USPS from confiscating the cargo?

[jdl1279]

Collectible glassware. From my so employed in-laws, alcohol shipping is a lot more over looked than most think. They can't accept it if you tell them what's in it, but so long as the package holds, it will be delivered.

My buddy brought this by, different but really good.

I hate coriander and pinot noir - that'un would not be for me 

[jdl1279]

Yeah, the citrus notes dominated, but the coriander came out as it warmed. I thought it was tasty, a nice spring/summer 10%. My buddy coined it "like Oberon on steroids", and that's absolutely accurate, as the sense on the palette is very similar only from a bit stronger brew in this case.

Courtesy of Dan. Pretty interesting, very coffee heavy

And on to this

[Seul]

That looks like something I'd put in me tea…

[jdl1279]

It was decent, the honey and ginger balance out a mediocre trip. Not my best night, but I had to deplete excess at some point, and neither was repulsive though, just underwhelming.

is drinking from jars a thing?

[jdl1279]

Probably not for anyone but me, these are actually from a seafood spot in Florida. Just happened to be what I grabbed from the cupboard.

Pretty perfect, but low in carbonation…

Alright Eli, you're killing me with the Gueuze's. Every post has me leaving puddles of drool through the house.
