    Already mentioned, but Boulevard Coffee Ale and Coffee Bender are my favorite two! New Belgium made a beer called Giddy Up way back when that I used to drink pretty heavily, it would keep ya up that's for sure.

    Lots of great suggestions on here. If youre looking for something on the lighter side I would recommend Wolaver's Alta Gracia Coffee Porter. ​

    If you're ever in NY, Rushing Duck's Beanhead Coffee Porter is fantastic. Never cared for the "bigger" coffee brews... maybe it's the higher ABV.

    Wake N Bake, Alta Gracia Coffe Porter from Wolaver's (one of my personal favorites), Espresso Yeti is outstanding. Watch out for any of the beers listed above that are aged in Bourbon Barrels, the bourbon tends to dominate. They are great, amazing, awesome beers, but if you're in it for the coffee, be warned.

    Smog City Groundwork Coffee Porter. Only available in LA area right now, but search it out if you're ever here. Won the gold medal at GABF last year.

    Throw in Peche Mortel, and you have my list, all these are great and very coffee flavored.

    the Midnight Sun Brewtality is pretty good. I think CoffeeBender is the best I've had, tho.

    Terrapin Wake-n-Bake and Founders Breakfast Stout are my two favorites of those that I've tried. I didn't like the Lagunitas Capuccino Stout nearly as much.

    I've been looking for the Stone Dayman IPA but it hasn't made it to MO yet unfortunately. I did see the Boulevard Coffee Ale today but didn't pick it up. I probably should have.

    I'll throw another behind Lagunitas, and it's -literally- impossible to go wrong with anything with the word 'yeti' at the end of its name.
    Laughing Dog's Anubis is real coffee-y, and out of left field I enjoyed the Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout.
    I was pleasantly surprised by Harpoon's El Triunfo Coffee Porter, and Jahva I seem to remember being all coffeed up as well...
