@JoeBrewin I prefer my wine to be eventful. 🤣

[Merrill O'Ryan @MoTravelPlease]

Whoo that is good. ALL the rich and delicious stuff. #extremebeerbox
Now, go Heels! 🏀 https://t.co/Z20BZKrIel

Oaky with a hint of cherry and leather. Smooth drinking, with a soft mouthfeel. Wish it was slightly bolder, though.

@JoeBrewin I had one of their Old Vine Zinfandels the other day. Nicely surprised!

[Merrill O'Ryan @MoTravelPlease]

Exactly as described. Chocolate and macaroon up front, with a slight smoky finish. Quite nice. ⁦@mondobrewing⁩ #craftbeer https://t.co/syLVUXnDFk

I love that this was brewed especially for the Extreme Beer Box. Wish it had a thicker mouthfeel, but nice taste of peanut butter. #extremebeerbox @eclipticbrewing https://t.co/ZjoyEKy81V

[Merrill O'Ryan @MoTravelPlease]

Yum. It’s like a Reece’s Cup with a hint of coconut. Rich, thick and delish! #ExtremeBeerBox https://t.co/MRQbmDIaFQ

[Merrill O'Ryan @MoTravelPlease]

Oooh. I really like that. Raspberry aroma, then cherry up front with an oaky finish. Lovely and smooth.

This is just okay. About as middle-of-the-road as they come. Wine from United States via @Vivino app: https://t.co/oNptoawuZx

[Merrill O'Ryan @MoTravelPlease]

Whoa. This has aged well since I last had in 2021. Caramel, cocoa, and molasses notes now. Too bad it’s my last bottle. #craftbeer ⁦@BreweryOmmegang⁩ https://t.co/xIfh6rcAaR
