    I am also mentioning Bourbon County Coffee and HF Genology of Morals, but not including them on the list because the OP said non-barrel aged coffee beers. So these two would have made the #3 and #4 spots on the list.

    Surly Coffee Bender and Bent Paddle Cold Press are both great ones.

    Behind those two, it's harder to say... Probably FBS, Lagunitas Cappuccino, and Victory at Sea.

    I just had Pizza Boy's Sunny Side Up (little amps coffee) and I would put that at the top for me. Great mouthfeel and a perfect blend of coffee and chocolate. A+

    BCBCS just edges it out for my #1 spot

    In my opinion the two best come from St. Louis.

    1. Perennial Sump
    2. Schlafly Coffee Stout

    There are others, but I chose those for their simplicity. They are great beers with the addition of coffee. Xocoveza, Coffee Abraxas, Bible Belt, are great beers with coffee in them, but i wouldn't call them coffee stouts.

    Péché Mortel and Tweak, 10 way tie for most of the others above - really like this style of beer.

    1- Goose Island Bourbon County coffee
    2- Alesmith BAVSS
    3- Alesmith VSS
    4- Central Waters Peruvian Morning.
    5- Stone expresso IRS.
    Obviously if maple would have been allowed TG- Mornin' Delight and Tree House Good Morning would jump right up near the top of the list.

    I guess from bottom to top, just for coffee flavors alone and not really overall beer or style preference.

    Sam's Coffee IPA OHB (I could not believe an IPA and coffee flavors went together but this one really stood out!)

    Carton Regular Coffee
    FBS
    Victory At Sea

    Brunch Weasel just narrowly missed the list. Quite an amazing beer, just had it for the first time on a trip to Bangkok at the Mikkeller Bar there.

    I know that FBS and VaS have some additional stuff going on, but they're both amazing enough in my opinion to bend the rules for a bit.

    Has anyone tried the Death Wish Coffee IPA from Saratoga? I wasn't able to get my hands on any and was wondering how it was...
