Top Five Coffee Beers

Stone Coffee Milk Stout
Lagunita's Cappuccino
SixPoint 3Bean

 

I thought my five would be easy and as I read through these, my five turned into twelve, haha.

 

1. Goose Island BCBCS
2. Perennial BA Sump Rwandan Kyoto/BA Sump/Sump
3. Bent Paddle Double Shot Double Black/Cold Press
4. AleSmith Jamaican Blue Mountain Speedway
5. Fulton War and Peace

Honorable mentions: Stone Dayman, AleSmith Vietnamese Speedway, AleSmith Jamaican Blue Mountain Speedway, New Glarus Coffee Stout

I think a lot of people are forgetting that per OP you're not supposed to include anything with any ingredient other than coffee (unless it's the barrel from barrel-aging).

 

BCBCS
Founders Breakfast Stout
Tree House Double Shot
Peche Mortel

Short's Cup O Joe
OddSide Bean Flicker
Lagunitas Cappucino Stout

Favorites so far; but list is, of course, subject to change

EDIT: Crap, throw Bell's Java Stout somewhere in there. Indecisive is my middle name apparently.

 

Big Bad Baptist
BCBCS
Coffee Bender
Devil made me do it
Vietnamese Speedway
Indonesian Coffee Train

 

I am really surprised that no one has mentioned Noble Naughty Sauce, Desolation from 3 stars is pretty good, dark horizon batch 4 was awesome, Vietnamese has always been my favorite of the speedways and just to throw one in that has also not been mentione 14th star maple breakfast stout.

 

There's a lot that I haven't gotten to try yet, but here are my five faves that I HAVE tried:
BCBCS
Founders KBS
CCB Cubano Espresso Marshal Zhukov
Surly Coffee Bender
Founders Breakfast Stout

 

Meantime should be on the list.

 

1: BC coffee
2: Terrapin wake n bake
3: Tioga sequoia Rush Hour
4: Ballast point Victory at sea
5: KBS

 

Bcbcs

Peche Mortel

Speedway

 

not a huge fan of plain ol coffee stouts but I'll drink (and enjoy) Double Shot from Tree House. I do like bourbon and maple as well so I'll add Good Morning, KBS and CBS. I remember the one time I had Victory at Sea being pleasantly surprised/impressed. So there's my 5.

 

Barrel Aged:

1. BCBCS ('13)
2. Peruvian Morning
3. Tweak
4. BCBCS ('14)
5. BAVSS

Non-Barrel Aged:

1. Mornin' Delight
2. Sump
3. Brewhouse (CW)
4. JBM Speedway
5. NG Coffee Stout

IMHO Mornin' Delight is the best coffee beer, with '13 BCBCS and (uninfected) Peruvian Morning close behind. After that there's a pretty sizable gap. I was a little surprised when I started ranking that neither BA Sump nor BASS made the cut, since it seems like they should be right up there, but in the end I think both are inferior to their non-BA counterparts because too much of the coffee flavor is lost.

Being a coffee junkie and a fan of Parabola, Parabajava is one of my few personal white whales. Hopefully it'll show up in a bottle some day!

 

carton regular coffee is an outstanding beer
