    What a hoot:
    "Perhaps you're eyeing my backside....".
    If I run into this stuff, home it comes.
    And, if I ever go to Starbucks, I will wear a bag over my head.

    I am a big Stone fan but recently my palate hasn't liked their releases. HiFi LoFi, Points Unknown, and the Bourbon Barrel Arrogant Bastard just didn't jive with me. But this one sounds pretty interesting.

    Not the biggest fan of the bastard series (other than Crime, they're the only beers I've had from Stone that I didn't enjoy) ... especially oaked which tasted like sucking on dry Popsicle sticks...

    But coffee... hmmm, I might have to try this one

    Don't like any of the Bastards but I'll try any beer with coffee.

    Completely agree.

    This one doesn't sound very appealing to me. My guess is that this bombs (and I'm usually pretty optimistic), but I hope I'm wrong.

    Seems like a Rogue collab...

    Yes one of my favorite beverages mixed with one of my other favorite beverages. This makes me happy.

    I love the Egocentric, Narcissism and the Arrogance (with a Touch of Tongue and Cheek Humor) of Stone's Arrogant Bastard labels...I'm Sold! Damn their Marketing!

    Wish they'd do more with their RIS than all they do with the Bastard series.

    I understand the concern but I wouldn't call this 'weird'. I know that's not what you're saying, but, well - so yesterday I was just wondering to myself what other beer styles could benefit from some coffee besides stout, and I came upon this almost immediately. Seems somewhat fitting. I'm not quite sure I can grasp how it will taste, but I really want to try it.

    Interesting - the label says Brewed & Bottled By Arrogant Bastard Brewing Co....not Stone.
