    Peche mortel gets all the love, but Dieu de Ciel's Aphrodite brewed with cocoa and vanilla beans is a real treat.

    Man, I want to try every single one of these beers and then rank them accordingly, then drink them again.

    The best I've had since getting into coffee stouts:

    Terrapin Wake 'N Bake
    Founder's Breakfast Stout
    Terrapin MooHoo Chocolate Milk Stout
    Stone Espresso IRS
    Bell's Java Stout

    Honorable mentions (since they are technically not stouts, but still delicious beers w/ coffee + chocolate):

    Funky Buddha Last Snow (coffee/coconut/chocolate)
    CCB Cubano Espresso (coffee/chocolate/vanilla)

    Speedway Stout.
    W&B
    Pesche Mortel
    BCBSCS and KBS, like the BC better though, both are excellent.

    Remember that Red Hook double made with Starbucks coffee? I have fond memories of that one... But, that wake and bake is awesome, Sammy Smith oatmeal, Sammy Smith organic chocolate ( but I can only have 1, 2 is too many)

    GD Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti
    Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout
    Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout
    And the Shake Porter from Boulder is killer if you can find it on nitro somewhere, but I think it has too much carbonation out of the bottle.

    Avery Tweak is amazing and Expresso and Chocolate Yeti are top notch also!

    I can never ever truly pick out a 'best' in any category because they change all the time for me.
    Right now, I would pick Overcast Espresso Stout but I may just be saying that because it surprised me. I went into the grocery store only looking for something tasty and cheap and I walked out with Overcast. Its really dark with this awesome smoked bitter coffee taste and, though its not super thick, its pretty creamy which gives it a fuller feel.

    As far as stouts, old rasp is still my favorite at the moment but this one definitely wins the top spot in my list of favorite coffee stouts.

    Mother's Winter Grind: This is my go to if I want a coffee beer.
    Young's Double Chocolate Stout: Delicious and very, very smooth.
    Sam Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout: Amazing, only to be made better by mixing 3 parts Chocolate Stout with 1 part Organic Cherry... chocolate covered cherries in liquid form? Yes!
    Stone Espresso Imperial Russian Stout: Delicious but had it at the end of the night so I don't remember much else.
    Prairie Artisan Pirate Bomb: This is a chocolate bomb, cannot taste the alcohol until you're almost done with the bottle and by then it's too late.
