    Lost Abbey Serpent Stout or Expresso Yeti yum yum. Breakfast Stout is always a favorite also.

    Lots of good ones mentioned above; I dunno if you're into trading, but if so, try to snag a Schlafly Coffee Stout 6er (only around 8 bucks a six pack, and damn delicious espresso flavors), and (one I didn't see above, unless I missed it) a 4pk of 16oz cans from Great River Brewery, their 'Redband Stout'. It's like creamy, thick, iced coffee. Probably the most coffee-forward beer I've ever had. Schlafly is distributed througout IL/MO and a few other states; Great River brews are almost exclusively in IL and IA I believe.

    Schlafly's Coffee Stout is excellent. Don't know if you can get it Western PA. A favorite stout of mine with a lot of coffee taste is Stockyard Oatmeal Stout at Trader Joe's.

    I have had one delicious sip of Williamsburg Aleworks Cafe Royale and I was sold. To me, better than FBS. But I don't find it a light beer like OP originally asked all those months ago. Wake n Bake isn't too heavy and so damn good.

    I'd you get Highland Brewing in your area, pick up a Black Mocha Stout. Best coffee flavor in a beer that doesn't actually use coffee.

    I'm just going to continue to parrot what a bunch of people are saying here, and given what I know we can get in PA:

    Founders Breakfast Stout
    Terrapin Wake-n-Bake
    Bells Java Stout
    Troegs Javahead
    Dark Horse Perkulator
    Flying Dog Kujo
    Atwater Vanilla Java Porter (Well, I like it)
    Ballast Point Victory At Sea (which I honestly have not seen here in a year and a half in Pittsburgh but who knows)
    Full Pint Perc E Bust
    Great Divide Espresso Yeti

    I wish we got Schlafly's here, I've heard so much about their Coffee Stout

    Williamsburg Alewerks Cafe Royal is one of the best and Nectar Black Xantus is very good. Along with WnB, CCB Cubano, and Victory at Sea.
    As far as rarities, Penultimate Push and Final Push Marshall Zhukov were off the charts good.

    If you're looking for something very balanced, I'd say Kujo all the way. 8.9% and there is no tasting the alcohol in that big boy.

    For a big coffee whopper: Black Damnation II Mocha Bomb is still my favorite coffee stout. Definitely a sipper at 12%.

    Péché Mortel is also stupidly delicious.
