[cricket12ish]

DUDE YOU SEE MY PINKY!!! LOL

[thefalloforange]

This is the best beer I have ever had. Its probably my number one and I can't wait to get my hands on it again.

[deathdrummer704]

Looks awesome! Makes me proud to live right next to Stone Brewery

[mhl04]

jj, you spent so much time sniffin' , ooooin, ans ahhhhin, you let the head go down. Gotta get a good mustache slug in....Hope you got a sixer...

[jjdaven]

@mhl04 Haha, Thank you so much for watching.

[SqueekersTheCat]

hey jjdaven, could you review Spaten Oktoberfest? I don't know if they sell it where you live, we get it here in GA.

[jjdaven]

@SqueekersTheCat I think I have seen that one. I will try my best to remember, but it could be a while. Thank you so much for watching.

[johnvile]

I think the intro needs a good belch..

[johnvile]

P.S. the intro's cool. Maybe a belch would be a bit much.

[jjdaven]

@johnvile I think it would be also.

[BeerichiTuba]

Nice intro, man. I dig.

I'm starting to dig some of the Stone collab beers.

[jjdaven]

@BeerichiTuba Thank you for watching.

I cracked up at 6:46, hahaha

[jjdaven]

@Winstonz0r Thanks for watching.

I just picked this up a few days ago and was interested in seeing how you felt about this. Although I thought the beer was very complex and very good.. as well as very strong I found that the coconut and macadamia nut flavor was rather non-existent. The coffee and chocolate flavors are very prominent but I was hoping for more coconut and macadamia flavor. Did you find the balance to be a little off between all of the flavors or did all of those nutty tones really come out for you?

[jjdaven]

@alkchrios I would agree with you. The coconut and macadamia flavor were very faint but still present. I could see where someone could easily miss those notes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[TheIslessuck1]

Cool intro, like you said I would shorten it by a little bit, but another solid review. If I can find this I am stocking up!!

[jjdaven]

@TheIslessuck1 Thank you for that great feedback!!

[MegaLp2000]

looks good, mite be hard to find it here in the midwest.

[jjdaven]

@MegaLp2000 You never know it might pop up.

[Killa2327]

It looks like that was one of the best beers you ever had, very curious to try some

[jjdaven]

@Killa2327 Yes it is ONE of the best beers I have had. For sure it is in the top ten.

[JonWhitten]

Hahaha I laughed my ass off at 6:40 there when you took that pause man, looks like you enjoyed the hell out of that one. I wish there was more beers like that available in my area!

[jjdaven]

@JonWhitten It was so good it left me speechless. Thank you for watching.

[jjdaven]

@JonWhitten Yes it is ONE of the best beers I have had. For sure it is in the top ten.

[EpicFknBrutality]

the intro was cool but I don't care for intros. i don't mind them as long as they're really short and sweet though. the shorter the better!

anyways.. nice review

[jjdaven]

@EpicFknBrutality Thank you for the feedback!

[pizzaman123]

I live in San Diego and havent seen this beer in months =( Wish I could find some.

[jjdaven]

@pizzaman123 Thanks for watching.

[mschmidt522]

Hey jjdaven, it was me who originally sent that to you. I created a new account (previously GMCTyphoon). I cellared it properly before it went to you and I'm glad you enjoyed it! There's a reason why I have none left haha.

Glad to see you enjoying some beer again, I've been waiting to see you review this.

[jjdaven]

@mschmidt522 Hey good to hear from you. Sorry it took so long. Man this was a really good beer!!

[25openmind]

My local whole foods had like 10 of these in the morning, and i had planned to come back 4 hours later to get a couple. Guess what, of course they were all gone, i really wanted to try this beer too. Hopefully they'll brew this one again. Great review man!

[jjdaven]

@25openmind That should tell you it's a great beer!

[munsterbrew]

That beer looks good I hope I can find it.

[jjdaven]

@munsterbrew This beer is great. Buy two if you find it.

[magisterartium]

Very good review, too bad I can't buy the beer in Belgium.

[jjdaven]

@magisterartium Thanks for watching.

[Chad9976]

Cool new opening man. Is that going to be a mainstay?

Now if only we could get you to go widescreen HD ;)

I want to try this one even though I hate coconut. Collab brews are really intriguing.

Great video!

[jjdaven]

@Chad9976 I am going to shorten it by 10 sec. and then it will be on every video. My format is perfect for the iPad and I am getting people watching on their iPad. I am not a coconut fan either but this was a great beer!

[lizoalex]

damn, that head popped up on the beer at the end.

[jjdaven]

@lizoalex It would come right back really easy. Great beer!!

[realaleguide]

That beer looked so good, my favourite beer is a Stout or a Porter, you have so much choice in America it is so unfair

[jjdaven]

@realaleguide Thanks for watching.

[hophedbrewhaus]

I'm commenting before I even watc the review... I love the opening, and I want to get a hold of this beer in a BAD WAY!

[jjdaven]

@hophedbrewhaus Bro the one thing wrong with this beer is I didn't have it in a 22oz. bomber.

[graflex16mm]

i know i know but would you ever review ........the beast.......millers milwaukees best

i like it but wondering your thoughts on it.....a great cheep beer good for a after mowing the lawn beer

[jjdaven]

@graflex16mm Your right that is a great beer for after mowing the lawn on a very hot day. You need to have that beer super ice cold and then it's ok.

[Balboa517]

Oh man, this sounds off the hook! Awesome review, man!!

[jjdaven]

@Balboa517 It really is!! It is a great beer with TONS of taste!!

[BeerGeekNation]

This was a phenomenal beer. When i reviewd it last week it really took me by surprise. At almost 9% it shouldnt be nearly as drinkable or refreshing as it turned out to be!

[jjdaven]

@BeerGeekNation Very well said! You know I wish it was a 22oz. bomber. That would have been nice.

[giantsfan209x]

Joe D takes it to the head..LOL!!! funny stuff .good review man

[jjdaven]

@giantsfan209x Thanks for watching.

[jjdaven]

@FistOfDarwin Thank you! I have been getting some very good feedback on the intro.

[agentbrown96]

I NEED to get this beer

[jjdaven]

@agentbrown96 When you find it get two cuz it is that good you will want to enjoy a second one for sure.

[ennuiandthensome]

jj, if you get a flashlight, we could see the color better if you light it from the side or below the glass.

~ennui

[jjdaven]

@ennuiandthensome I used to use a flashlight back in the day but it changes the way the beer looks too much. I like the way I do it now that way you can get a better idea what the beer looks like natural. I actually should have turned the light out in front of me and the natural light from my window would have showed the beer better.

[slimzy1990]

Sick intro dude and of course another great review, keep it up.

[jjdaven]

@slimzy1990 Thank you so much!

[dmi3011]

lol, he had a beergasem. xD just sits and stares.

[jjdaven]

@dmi3011 Yes I did. It was just a little too much beer porn for me and it came to a finish on camera. LOL

[SgtAndrewScott]

Love the new intro, especially the part when you look at the camera and act surprised that it was there. keep up the good work.

[jjdaven]

@SgtAndrewScott Haha, Thanks Bro!!

[trickpat777]

Anyone know if this is sold in Michigan? thanks

[jjdaven]

@trickpat777 I am not sure where it is sold. But if you can get it let me know what you think of it.

[aid2003]

Sweet INTRO..

LOVE IT..

[jjdaven]

@aid2003 Thank you so much for watching.

[beernoob]

I like it but at 30 seconds...I think it's kind of long...good and cool..but long.

[jjdaven]

@beernoob Thanks. I am going to cut it down by about 10 sec.

[dralion777]

HMMM BEER! now I have to try this beer. Make me so thirsty watching you drink it.

love the reviews!

[jjdaven]

@dralion777 Thank you so much for watching.

[CrossfadedHobo]

That is the coolest bottle I've ever seen. Definitely gonna try and find one of these.

[jjdaven]

@CrossfadedHobo Thanks for watching. Let me know what you think of it when you finally get to try it.

[jjdaven]

@Wkern07 Thank you for taking the time to watch

[bigbtb]

Almost a "pinky out" beer. I must try this now that I've heard that! ha ha Good review.

[jjdaven]

@bigbtb Haha, Great comment. Let mw know what you thought of it when you get to try it.

[filcox]

BTW, the intro is good but maybe a tad bit too long.

[jjdaven]

@filcox Great. That is just the feedback I was looking for. Maybe I will cut it down to 20 seconds.

[filcox]

Nice review.

[jjdaven]

@filcox Thank you my friend

[MDJarv]

Dayum, I want to try this bad.

[jjdaven]

@MDJarv It is a damn good one let me tell you!!
