My wife was like, "Are you trading OATMEAL now???"

 

[imasickboy]

I imagine a couple of oatmeal stouts were brewed just so you could safely receive your glass.

Received my package from @Bigfish713 today. Well packed, and arrived in perfect condition. It is now stashed away for a bottle share coming up next month.

iTrader feedback also submitted.

@imasickboy
Received my package today. Thank you, looking forward to trying these.

Glad they made the trip. Some iTrader feedback would be appreciated if you have a chance. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* All four are good, IMO, but the barleywine is something really special.

In other news, I received a package yesterday from a secondary trade that came out of this thread. Very happy, feedback left.

Has everyone involved received their packages?

 

[JDXX1971]

I got mine!!! Nickbtag's Belgian Quad was killer!!! Ravens Roost is killer!!!! I cant wait to try the Dark Hollow!! Thanks Nickbtag, thanks Scturo!!!!!! I cant wait to do it again!!!

 

[RevKev]

Agreed I found a place just today that just started doing crowlers and they have some amazeball sours on tap. Would love to share.

If anyone wants to do a side trade ever let me know, one already happened and I'm happy it did

 

[slym2none]

Glad to see this working out so well! Hopefully I can get in on one soon.

My package is heading out tomorrow, I have kept the recipient updated.

It never fails when I setup a trade or shipment I never get it out when I intend. It doesn't help that the nearest UPS is 20 miles from here.

I will put a disclaimer when I trade stating it may take awhile, but I am good for it.

I received my shipment today, via USPS non the less.
Everything made it without issue.

I will get in on this again.

Finally got a chance to get into one of these. This beer is different. I don't get much coffee... but it's damn good.

I'm going to save the Crusher for this weekend.

Thanks again @Thorrak!

Thanks man! Super glad you enjoyed everything so far and I really appreciate the feedback. Parkway brewing (raven's roost) has only been open going on 2 years now but they are putting out some killer beers. I can't wait for the next go around of this. I'll definitely include more of there beers next time.

Sweet, that actually looks pretty juicy.

Glad you liked it! I had it on draft at the brewery when I picked it up, and felt the same - A good IPA, but not much coffee. Interestingly, the coffee notes began to come through once we tried one of the (warmer) cans at home -- not sure if it was the can or the serving temp that made the difference in this case.

In any case, glad everything made it there in once piece. Enjoy the Crusher

I let it sit for about 30 minutes while I made a starter, and the coffee definitely came through more when it was a little warmer. The crusher is in my sights for the fights tonight.

Does everyone on here have an Untappd? Would be a nice way to see how people rate the trades. 'RevvKevv' on there.

 

[imasickboy]

I won't be opening anything I received until a bottle share on December 10th. And I'm pretty certain most ratings from that night, (except the first few), will be inaccurate.

 

[afro_lou]

afro_lou on Untappd!
I try to check in to all my trades there.
Cheers!

Got my package earlier this week from gromitdj but was out of town so just got to open it last night. Super excited to try everything plus the extra HB! I must say, one of the best packaging jobs I've ever seen. Each bottle was vacuumed sealed to prevent leakage. Awesome idea! Thanks again! Can't wait for the next!

Hey, are we all squared away with Round 1?

If so, let's get Round 2 going.
