Nice score!

So, what's the word on Modern Times? For some reason I have them pegged as swill... Utica Club-level bad. Must've been something else...

Average to slightly above. Imo.

Gracias. The local boutique import shop has some at stupid prices. Will avoid.

A couple of my buddies got in on their Kickstarter premium club membership and some of their variants and one-offs are pretty awesome though.

I know I haven't been around, so maybe I have no standing to come in here and start saying what's what, but this year's hopslam ain't that great compared to previous years. Last year was the best I ever had. This year it's good, but nothing out of the ordinary, IMO. Kind of disappointed. Smelled better than it tasted.

Is Tweak worth the $10-12?

Yup, but more for the drunkness than the taste. That fudge will mess you up quick, although you do taste the booze. If I get another bottle I might have to let it sit for a bit.

I'll probably pass on it then.

Ahhh just saw the ba bomb. Passed on it as I spent way too much. But perhaps I'll try it next go around.

WTF did ya spend so much on that would make ya pass up BA bomb?

You should try Sixpoint Hi-Resin! Prefer it over Hopslam!

I need to find some BA bomb badly.

If anyone wants to trade a couple for an Eighteen or Black Gold + a little something else from me, let me know.
