The Big Box of Yum

[mcbaumannerb]

This treat right here, pecan-crusted mojito bars, needs to be randalled stat. Probably a Belgian golden or a blonde ale. They smell freaking insane out of the oven.

So I'm not sure this was the best idea, but my daughter brought home this gingerbread house so I figured I'd throw a hunk in the RJ with a blackout and see what happens

Uhhhh, where'd this pellicle come from!?



Actually not the worst, but that starlight mint kinda took over. That mint that was stuck to a blanket in the backseat when we brought the gingerbread house home...

Lol certainly festive! I dunno what it is about mint, but even a little bit will take over the drivers seat when.it comes to combos.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Especially peppermint. Normal mint isn't quite as bad (but can give a touch more chemical aftertaste)

How long did you let the gingerbread sit in secondary to get that pellicle DrPhunk?

Think it may of been cinnamon and not pellicle? Maybe with the mint it's the oils that coat everything. I have a small hater of peppermint oil that spilled a little in the cabinet, four months later it still has an over powering aroma.

I never secondary my gingerbread.

2013 pumpkinator, marshmallow and orange chocolate slices. Results pending, but I can tell you that the spices held up real nice over time with this. Thanks @WesleyS for the base beer

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Mallow didn't come through at all, but the orange is there in spades. Chocolate as.it warms. Maybe toasting the marshmallow will make it more pronounced

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Hopefully this weekend I'll be posting some pictures from some combos. I have a few written down I want to give a whirl

Are you the one bogarting the YUM and the big box!?

Nah man, I'm the thread starter, I can't get that box back, I don't think it would be right. I'm just adding my own stuffs to the mix to keep interest alive

 

[TheCADJockey]

Nah man, I'm the thread starter, I can't get that box back...

Oh man.. if I have to go backwards and find out who's hoarding all the YUM... so help me!!

Great idea. Thread starter should update post #1 with the current location of the BBoY!

I'm all for making Duffman work.

I have no skin in this game otherwise. Carry on.

aw man, com'on, more work for me? sheesh



Sure thing, I can do that...put all the pressure on the current owner lol
With the holidays going on I was certain it would be a bit of time for another box to go out. I'm sure this will be out after the holidays and it isn't dead, just in turkey and present induced coma.

 

[DrPhunk]

I've got the BBOY, and as Duffman stated it'll be heading back out on it's journey soon. Just been enjoying the holidaze with this bad boy

Last hoorah with the Randall as I'll be shipping it out as soon as the temp gets past single digits next week. Keeping it simple right now with a chocolate raspberry imperial stout View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1452290677.210358.jpg

Damnit I need to get more base stout. All I have are Terrapins. Oh woe is me.

Sounds like you need some TEN FIDY.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Tastes like candy, really. A tad bit too much cinnamon, maybe I'd omit it next time. That's the most coconut forward beer I've ever had lol

 

[DrPhunk]

Things finally thawed out here today! I'll be packing up the BBOY and shipping Monday
