    Well, since everyone else is ignoring the OP's request to list beers available year-round in his area, here are my favorites...
    Peche Mortel
    Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel
    Great Divide Espresso Yeti
    AleSmith Speedway Stout
    Founders Breakfast Stout

    FD Kujo was tasty. Terrapin's Depth Charge was expressorific! NG Coffee is not bad. CW Peruvian Breakfast is yummy as well.

    Other than Breakfast Stout, my favorite that I have regular access to is the Berkshire Brewing Company's Coffeehouse Porter. In addition, I found the Three Heads Java Sutra to be comparable.

    2 others to keep in mind that have just as much coffee like flavors to the great ones already mentioned; Left Hand's Milk Stout and DFH's Chicory Stout...there are quite a few great stouts out there I must say I could fill the fridge with a great many of them.

    Ummmm, ok. I don't get much coffee on WWS, just booze.

    Slam dunk, for me the best three are FBS, Wake N Bake and Peche Mortel.

    2 of these are not in your area, none are year round, but Central Waters Coffee Stout, BCBCS, Peruvian Morning.

    Joe Coffee Porter by Philadelphia Brewing Co. Highly drinkable coffee beer.

    Lot of good suggestions above. Just be sure to get them as fresh as you can, check the dates because that coffee flavor fades to the back pretty quickly in most of those beers.

    I have had a ton of coffee beers; they are my favorite style (even thought oat stout is on my profile as my fav style). One of the best, imho, is Bluegrass Brewing Company's Hiene Bros Coffee Stout. AleSmith Speedway Stout and Bells Java kick it too. Terrapin WnB is a new fav of mine.

    Cheers!

    I considered making another thread, but could anyone give me recommendations of coffee beer around Chicago or a bit further out? I lament Black n Brew as well. I have liked Bridgeport Cafe Negro, but a local liquor chain tells me it is out of production and I have been waiting for Bridgeport to e-mail me back to confirm or deny for over a week. I have had and was not too big on Hinterland Luna Coffee Stout or Dark Horse Perkulator. Any help?

    Hello. If you mean a coffee beer brewed in Chicago probably the only one I could think of is Goose Island's Bourbon County Coffee Stout. Now if you mean, what kind of coffee beers can I get in Chicago you should be able to get just about everything that's been listed here. Because Founders and Bells are available in Chicago I would recommend Founders Breakfast Stout and Bells Java Stout or even an Espresso Oak Aged Yeti. Good luck.
