From the 02/14/2017 bottle release - 22oz bomber with a Nonic style glass.
This was just okay for me, not something I would really seek out again. I do like how they keep it IPA first and you still get that charge of dank tropicalia hops as expected with the base Enjoy By. More complimentary with the green earthiness and citrus notes derived from the roast coffee I would say and there is just a wee subtle touch of chocolate present in the finish. Good balance to it, not overly bitter given the add-ons here.
A little too gimmicky for me, but well done in that respect.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into glass. Bottled on date is '01/08/17'.
Hazy orange, copper colored body, with lots of floating particles (most settle to bottom of glass), persistent off white, thin head, and good coverage of lacing.
Aroma is citrus, with just a hint of chocolate.
Taste is floral citrus and more bitter pith, with a minor aspect of chocolate. What very little coffee there is may add to acidic effect, but overall bitterness is relatively low. Some sweetness and vanilla at the end of the flavor profile.
Medium mouth feel.
Additions of chocolate and coffee help to reduce the sensation of alcohol burn.

Tried this when it was released as Stone enjoy by 2.14.17
Another enjoy by variant, this one brewed with coffee and chocolate atop a delicious IPA foundation. Caramel tan in color with a ruby tinge, and a hop forward orange peel aroma . The coffee and chocolate don't take center stage but instead longer on the back end.

Pours golden amber. Medium, white head that lasts a while. Hazy with lots of sediment.
Smells of Piney, dank, malt and light hints of coffee
Tastes strong piney bitter with light bready malt hints of citrus. Finishes dry with a resiny and light coffee linger. Fuller medium body with creamy medium carbonation

Look: Pale yellow gold with a think white foam head. The lacing on the head is dense with long retention. Looks like something between a lager and cider.
Smell: Sweet IPA notes of lemon, green tea, and grapefruit.
Taste: Typical IPA notes with orange peel, grapefruit, lime and grape with added notes of chocolate. It tastes like chocolate covered strawberries without the sweetness. Very strange.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, full and dry
Overall: Certainly not blown away. This experimental beer kind of tastes like chocolate covered club soda. It doesn't quite work.
