I got my order today.. The TB and GR are spot on to the first order. The Berry Cherry I think I may need to let steep a bit more. Has a 2/22 date, an tastes good, but has a bit of alcohol like harshness yet.. May also try it in my genesis which is a bit cooler as well..but I really think in a week it will rock! The Merlyns Bow...wow... Really liking it. The flavors are very well balanced...so whoever recommended it to me, I say (in my best Elvis voice-- his famous snack was the peanut butter banana sandwich):"thank you, thank you very much!"

Can anyone tell me the usual turnaround time from when you place an order to when you receive it? I'd like to make an order but I'm moving soon.

Its pretty quick but if you want to be safe should give 7-10 days

usually would be quicker 3-5 but if I were moving id give 10 anyway just to be sure

opened my bottle of Grandmaster that has been sitting since well before Christmas. It's a dark brown/yellow. I did this for an "official" flavor of the real thing to better compare to the Merlyn's Bow.

It's much better. At this point, I'd say it's at least 40% better than Merlyn's Bow and I am being conservative with this judgment as well. I will revisit the MB in about 3 weeks. I'll report if my findings are any different.

This was tested in a kayfun btw

I just wanted to report that The Steam Co reshipped my entire order to me after I e-mailed them about the leaking bottles and poor packaging.

The packaging was 100% improved, and even more surprising is that they upgraded a few of my 10 ml bottles to 30 mls!

I immediately e-mailed them back to thank them and let them know how pleased I was that they listened to their customer and stepped up to the plate to make things right.

I will enthusiastically recommend them to others, and will definitely order from them again - as I have some other flavors I'd still like to try besides the 8 flavors I originally ordered.

The SteamCo banana is too artificial. It reminds me of the banana shaped candies one would get out of a gum ball machine. Not a fan. The Tardis Blueberry on the other hand.....Very Good!!

The GR can easily be an ADV. I'm not picking all the flavors out at once (except coconut), but they seem to pop up here and there as I go along. My brew date is 2/7, not sure if that means it was bottled then or initially made then. If the latter is the case, guessing a steep could meld the flavors and make it better. I'm liking it!

I just tried Sean Lepreconnery. It has a good flavor but it's not strong at all. I mainly get a faint whiskey/bourbon flavor, little if any Irish Cream. I'm glad I only got 10ml of this.

Just an update. Sean Lepreconnery has really improved in the last few days. The flavors have gotten stronger and I can definately taste the Irish Cream now. I'll reorder this one for sure, 30ml this time.
