    It was good but it was NO Dayman sadly. I see people checking in dayman still. The other collaborators must still be brewing it.

    Anyone else notice the labels for these bottles are stickers? Never thought we'd see that from stone.. not that it really bothers me, just surprised.

    The latest Enjoy By labels are stickers too, they must be phasing out the screen printed bottles.

    We actually wrote a short blog about the pressure sensitive labels (PSL) back in February: http://bit.ly/PSLBlog

    I had this at the taproom back in March. It was near the end of the night and I got it because why not. I wasn't sure at the time if it was just me having had a lot of beer that day or not, but I thought it was pretty good.

    Fast forward to today, got a sixer of this and I'm digging it. It's kinda strange, it's very different, but it is pretty good. I might pick up more at some point.

    Opened one from my six pack, enjoying it now, cant think of a similar beer I have tried, I am enjoying it for sure. Hard to classify, but excellent.

    I just had one last night, and I have to say that I found it very enjoyable. First of all - no, it is definitely not Dayman, nor is it as good as Dayman was. And it is definitely not something I would want to drink more than one of. However, all the flavors are there, and it's like a glass full of chocolate covered citrus fruit - kind of like those chocolate oranges you see around Christmas. Very Enjoyable!

    Tried some of this over the weekend. Fantastic beer. Very balanced and drinkable. A little pricy, but considering abv it's not terrible. Overall, really enjoyed this brew.

    I liked Dayman and I loved this. It just really works.

    I am not a fan of IPAs at all but by recommendation from a TW employee I bit the bullet. Bought a single and thought it ws good enough to spring for a 6 pack. Not bad at all!

    More chocolaty than I thought it'd be, pretty unique. It's no Dayman, but it's pretty good.

    Tried this at a tasting last night even though I'm not an IPA fan. My taste is more on the quad/porter/stout side but thought I'll give this a try. Was actually surprised by the taste and flavor. Not my style but drinkable even for me. Masked the typical IPA taste enough for me that I might even buy a few of these in the future.

    Very impressed with how much coffee there was in this and how well it worked with it being an IPA!

    I liked trying it but by the end regretted the 6pk.

    This was spread out over a week and a half, not one evening, in case anyone was getting another idea.

    Just say "it's cheaper" and be done with it. This is why company blogs get ignored, they are always so horribly done. They make your brain hurt just looking at them.
