    Personally I enjoyed 3/4 of these, thoroughly enjoyed half of them, and was flat out amazed by one of them. If you had to pick one you'd like to see return, what would it be?

    I voted for Dayman Coffee IPA.

    W00tstout was a really tasty Imperial Stout, but I can go out and have a half dozen others to choose from while Dayman was also very well done, and a more unique interpretation of an IPA that I can't as easily find a suitable replacement to.

    That's the thing for me too. Really loved both of 'em, but there is simply no replacing that perfect balance of fresh coffee and hops. It was one thing when it exceeded my admittedly low expectations and (more than) satisfied my curiosity, but it was another thing being thrown back into my coffee slinging days with that first sip erupting with notes reminiscent of the smell of opening the cafe at the crack of dawn, which immediately dissolved into a very impressive citrussy IPA regardless of the coffee note. Amazing that such a transition could work as smoothly as it did, and even more amazing that it excelled in that way. Totally blown away. I went through two cases-worth, easy. It changed as the weeks went on, but didn't lose any WOW factor until about maybe two and half months. Damn, I miss that beer!

    W00tstout was ok, kind of a mess IMO. Suede was alright, but none of the flavors really stood out. I liked coconut a lot better than most did, got some subtle coconut flavor followed by a nice ipa. Dayman was transcendent, it completely changed my concept of an ipa. It definitely needs to be brewed again.

    I chose W00tstout, but only because I hadn't tried Dayman (It never hit Pittsburgh, Erie, or Buffalo!) and had zero interest in Suede. Coconut R&R was more than above average for an IPA, but the coconut just didn't deliver. Overall, I was a bit let down by their collaberations this year. I still have one bottle of W00tstout that I'll open sometime during this winter.

    Didn't get R&R as I'm not a fan of coconut at all, anyway I voted Dayman even though I loved the rest, Dayman was simply amazing.

    I completely agree! I certainly enjoyed the bottle of W00tstout that I had, but having tries it once I don't feel the need to purchase it again, while Dayman was one of the most memorable beers I have tried in a long time and I would eagerly purchase as much as I could afford! Haha

    I've only tried the Dayman and the W00tstout. Both were excellent for the price point, but Dayman is one of the ten best new beers I tried in 2013. An improbably delicious beer.

    Dayman didn't actually hit distro in the San Jose area, but I was able to pick up a bottle to go at a bar when I went home to SLO county. Even at the ridiculous price of $15, it was well worth it.

    Good god DAYMAN! I drank nearly 10 bombers and probably quarter of a keg of the stuff!

    I really enjoyed Dayman. Partially is probably going into it with low expectations due to the unique style. I was very impressed. W00t was a nice BA stout, but as previously mentioned, many out there.
