    So, a keg of this was just tapped locally, and given that there's no BA listing, I have to ask... is this Dayman, or is it just "Stone IPA" with coffee added? I'll be trying it today either way.

    This beer is most definitely not Dayman, but quite similar.

    It is a one-off brewed by Kris K. at Stone Liberty Station.

    Figured as much, but had to ask (especially with that Mystery IPA upcoming). Thanks for the info.

    It's delicious, that's certain. Had it at the company store in Pasadena and was so enamored with it, I took home a crowler. In hindsight, I wish I'd have grabbed two.

    Just had a glass, and agree that it was quite delicious. I've gotten so used to the Enjoy By profile on Stone's specialty IPAs that this really surprised me, because it wasn't EB-esque at all. The coffee took the lead role, with the IPA elements in a supporting role. Will have this every time I go back til it kicks...

    Originated as the Liberty Station 2nd Anniversary IPA last year. Pretty fantastic brew. Wouldn't completely rule out bottles eventually -- especially given how popular it's been on tap everywhere.

    The 2nd Anniversary is the Mocha IPA, which was amazing IMO. There's a different batch of that going around now under the "Pilot Series" which isn't as good as the original, not as much chocolate hop flavor. This Stone IPA with blonde coffee is like Dayman, but definitely not Dayman.

    I did like this beer, got a half pour but thought it was great. Was worried at first, but a pleasant surprise.
