    Can't wait. Wonder if the hop character will be a prominent feature, or just more of a balanced addition like in Founders Imperial Stout.

    Either way, I want.

    I'm a little confused, because often it's RIS that's hoppier than American, but then again this is Stone (and they brew a benchmark IRS so you'd doubt they'd tread in the same water). Without a label IBU, it will be hard to know if this will be any hoppier than say, Old Rasputin, although coffee may increase the perceived bitterness.

    In any case, if anything like IRS Espresso, I'm in.

    Because they don't make enough hop forward stuff. Why didn't they just bring back Espresso IRS in 6-pack format?

    The sloth astronaut! I decided it was a time for a change, but maybe it'll come back.

    If they're good at making hop-forward stuff, why wouldn't they stick to what they're good at?

    Just had this beer less than a week ago. It was freakin' incredible. The coffee was some of the best I've ever had in a beer.

    I know this is nit-picking, but there is no such thing as an espresso bean. Espresso is a type of coffee beverage made from a coffee bean, just like a mocha, or an americano, etc.

    :angry:COME ON, STONE!!

    If you really wanna get real, coffee beans aren't actually beans either. :rolling_eyes:

    I'm hoping this beer leads to their BA version which I will definitely want.

    Yeah, they're seeds... ugh oh well. I was getting all flippy over the Sixpoint 5beans thread for the same reason.

    Maybe I should calm down.

    I am all over this. I have know problem paying around $15 a 6 pack for hightest and quality beer. I would rather spend that than $10.99 a 4 pack, cheaper in the long run.
