    Does anyone have a recommendation for a sessionable coffee beer? I got a Coffee Bender http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/13014/30764/ as an extra in a trade and it was delicious and sessionable but not available in Texas. Any recommendations for a beer that fits the bill and is available in Texas?

    Well I've had several Surly Coffee Benders and it is great. But my personal fav is Real Ale Coffee Porter. Its available everywhere in Austin. I dunno about anywhere else. But it beats it in the coffee flavor, mouthfeel, overall taste. IMO

    I can drink 3-5 in a row, so I think its sessionable.

    I haven't had that before but I've seen it at the store. I'll give it a try next time, thanks!

    Kona Pipeline Porter is also pretty good.

    Real Ale Coffee Porter for sure. One of the best coffee forward beers I've had, and its low abv

    Real Ale should put it out year round IMO. Absolutely love it.

    I recommend that everyone just dumps Sunrise down the drain. Can't believe people enjoy that, or that it sells well:confused:

    Anyway, Real Ale Coffee Porter Cafe De Olla on cask right now at D&T in Houston. Simply amazing.

    i thought Buffalo Bayou Buffalo Sunset was amazing!
    the coffee added this awesome roasty edge.

    Gotta agree with RA Coffee Porter. Solid brew.

    I enjoyed 8th Wonder Coffee Mocha Alt. It's pretty sessionable, however, I have only seen it on tap three times since July, so its not that widely available.
