    Any brewed at 9% and higher? Have no interest in Punkuccino, tried the Coney Island Big Ole Pumpkin W Espresso Beans, not very good.

    Yeah, I was all set to love Punkuccino. Traded for it, drank it, thought it was all right but nothing spectacular. I think the spices would go well with coffee (says my inner white girl) so I too am interested in more successful pumpkin beers with coffee. Doesn't even have to be high grav.

    Completely missed the part that said "With Coffee." I'll now hang my head in shame and exit stage left :flushed:

    I know its not really what youre asking, but Pumking and 4 beans 50/50 fits the bill nicely. 60/40 favoring 4B works too.

    Again, no coffee. But Crown Valley imperial pumpkin smash is great and has plenty of roast flavor

    I guess you need to brew one! The whole Pumpkin Stout market is kinda new with no offerings I can think of that involve coffee and an ABV of 9%

    On the other hand they are kind of gross I found no Pumpkin Stout I really liked mostly because I like my Pumpkin ales sweet and spiced and usually the Stout aspect involves a lot of bitterness and roast. Kind of like two tastes that clash horribly in my opinion.

    I'll second Punkuccino, but my experience is that it'll hit your coffee spot more than it will your pumpkin spot.

    I vaguely remember Duclaw's Pumpkin Retribution having some coffee notes in it. Clocked in at 11.5% too
