    I love the licorice flavor in true RIS'. When coffee/espresso is overdone in a RIS... that just sucks.

    Dude... Really hate having to go out of state to get this shit when the state carries Stone.

    never got to try the anise IRS (even though it sounds delicious to me), but the espresso variant sounds excellent. stone IRS was the first imperial stout that i tried that i loved. they use to intimidate me in a big way.

    I ask because that looks like a case straight from Stone. How'd you get it?

    I went to the beer distributor and bought it.

    If you are unfamiliar with Pennsylvania's awesome laws let me enlighten you. Unless you buy beer in a certain few grocery stores, or an extremely over priced hot dog shop (that doesn't really sell hot dogs), you have to buy beer by the case.

    Luckily for me, the beer distributor I go to is great and the guys will order me stuff if I ask. I asked, they hooked it up. Do I need a whole case of it? Probably not.

    I'll probably drink some, trade some, or just age a few.

    Has anybody tasted this Espresso IRS yet?!

    My local Bevmo won't get it for "another week or two". Or even better: "the lady says it's coming"


    ...can't wait for that day.

    Can anybody shed some insight on what other beers (if any) Ryan bros has collaborated on? They sound so familiar...yet google is so far away to look it up myself
    I'm interested if any coffee&beer nerds have sought out the exact beans (i.e. with the stone espresso IRS - obtaining ryan bros espresso beans) used in various coffee beers for a side-by-side...and if the quest was worth the reward?

    Edit: alesmith (speedway) uses their beans, I couldn't resist...but who else?
