    I'm not a coffee guy, so I haven't had most of the them. I've only had probably 3 or 4, and of them BCBCS is the best, followed by FBS.

    Sadly I must say no. Now you mention it I really am starting to regret it.:slight_smile:

    I saw it in stores and passed on it as well, opting for the regular instead (because of my aforementioned distaste for coffee). I too am regretful.

    Coffee Bender is all I would need to get my coffee beer fix. Perfect.

    My favorites (FBS, Stone Espresso IRS) have already been mentioned. Was really hoping to get hands on a bottle of BCBCS this year to compare, but unless my favorite bottle shop either hasn't gotten or put out theirs yet (a very definite possibility), I will probably miss out again. Wah wah.

    But one other that I had recently and found to be quite tasty was Mother's Brewing Winter Grind.

    FBS, Yeti, are very good, highland black mocha stout is pretty good as well.

    Sure, I'd love to grab Stone Espresso and Peche (provided the prices are reasonable) again.

    It was really something special. Of course, I am bias, being of Italian lineage I already love all things espresso. I don't know how coffee holds up over time, I would imagine it fades, but if you see a bottle it could be worth snagging.

    I hate coffee, but love coffee beers. I'm surprised no one has mentioned my favorite, Pipeworks Coffee Break Abduction.

    I totally forgot about Peche Mortel. En mi opinion, esta numero uno.

    Besides the obvious ones listed Central Waters Brewhouse Coffee Stout has a great coffee flavor

    Favorite by far is Stone Espresso RIS
    Next would be Bourbon County Coffee

    Unfortunately, these are both difficult to obtain.

    That's pretty much my list as well, except for add Cigar City Cubano Espresso Brown Ale, which is my favorite coffee beer.

    Had Highland Thunderstruck Coffee Porter on draft for the first time last night and it was awesome. At around $10 per sixer, that might be the best value for coffee beers and it's relatively easy to find. Definitely gonna purchase that one again soon.

    I really enjoyed Big Bad Baptist and Cafe Aun Mas Jesus the other day. It's great to wake up with a coffee infused brew. The vanilla in Victory At Sea threw me off though.

    Agree with all that's been said thus far, with my favorites being BCBCS, FBS and Stone Espresso IRS.

    I'd also like to throw in Schlafy's Imperial Coffee Stout. Had the opportunity to try that and it was just fantastic.

    Also looking forward to trying that Gansett Coffee Milk Stout when I'm up north for the holidays!
