I had to vote for a couple B. Nektar meads I've never seen/heard/tasted before: Dread Pirate Paul and Smoked Pumpkin Caper. Those sound pretty interesting.
I feel like I probably shouldn't have voted for anything that's 12 oz, though, since the math doesn't really work out there.
I removed any 12oz bottles that I don't have at least 2 of.
@RyanMM said:
Yeah, but in the end I'm guessing only 1 or 2 meads would make the cut, so it wouldn't be the kind of thing you'd really be able to enjoy fully. I've kicked around the idea of doing a mead-only tasting at some point, but haven't gotten to that yet.
My votes are in! I'm happy with anything bold, but in particular...
Chocolate Rain (by Bruery)
Speedway Stout with Vietnamese Coffee (by Alesmith)
Beer Is Dark - XIII Anniversary (by Dark Horse)
Pumpking Rum Barrel Aged (by Southern Tier)
Barrel Aged Solar Eclipse (by Kuhnhenn)

I'm calling in now. Spot reserved. I can pay now. In. In.
Hahah, okay, your spots are reserved. I just don't know when it will be! lol I am pretty sure the EPIC 2015 schedule is filled out, so unless you're both in town on Sunday, and in the mood after cleanup...

Heh, that's OK, it doesn't have to be during Epic. I just wanted to say we should have one. Maybe during Oktoberfest, next ICSP, or next Epic. I would be down for one on Sunday, but I've got to hit the road after brunch.

If you are driving, a morning mead tasting would be a bad idea. lol
Top 5 beers will 100% be in this tasting. Those beers are:
2013 Black Tuesday
2012 Black Note
2014 Speedway Stout with Vietnamese Coffee
2014 Pumpking Rum Barrel Aged
2015 Chocolate Rain
The remaining selections will be a surprise, heavily comprised of favorites from the voting, along with some personal selections I feel will complement, contrast, or otherwise enhance the overall enjoyment.
Once I've got the beer list worked out and removed anything that I don't have additional bottles of, I'm going to be messaging the BATCH 2 tasters so they can vote on their selections.
I didn't have enough of an internet connection the week I was gone, so I couldn't vote. That being said, I'm very pleased with the current result set and my body is ready.

Did I mention there is a tasting room sip tax by the venue proprietor? Just learned about it.
As a sovereign citizen, I hereby exempt myself from any and all taxes.
Just kidding, you can sip from my glass any time big boy.
It has taken me longer than expected, but I have the beer list whittled down to a selection of 15 lovely brews. See you all at 9pm!
@RyanMM There has been some rescheduling and the tasting is at 10pm now.
Thanks, @Linc just texted me.
