    BCBCS is something I have given up on. I do not care what reason GI has for such short supply, but it is ridiculous that it is that hard to find.

    I shall look around for those mentioned in this thread. Thanks!

    If you can find Flying Dog Kujo is an amazing beer for the price and excellent when it comes to coffee stouts. Also Cigar City Marshal Zhukov Imperial Stout is a coffee lovers dream. Imagine Founders Imperial Stout with Espresso.

    I tracked down some Kopi Luwak and there's a good reason you get less coffee off the BGBW... Kopi Luwak has almost no strong coffee aftertaste, no matter how black you brew it. That, plus the fact that we rarely drink a particularly fresh Mik coffee stout, so it might have faded... but still a great, great beer.

    I personally feel that FBS is pretty much the gold standard. There are dozens of great coffee stouts, and imperial coffee stouts that I like a lot, but FBS is a perfectly balanced beer. Consumed a little bit warm, it's heavenly. In fact... now I have to go drink one. And yes, I know they're better fresh... but I'm not letting em go to waste. :slight_smile:

    That could be the best porter I've ever had.

    Not sure of its been mentioned and probably doesnt matter to most since its draft only but Sixpoint Gorilla Warfare is fucking bomb. Its one of the best coffee beers Ive had. Others would be BCS Coffee and Big Bad Baptist which is definitely for the more extreme coffee lovers.

    Not sure why WnB doesn't get more love. Granted, it gets love -- but it should be right up there with the best coffee beers in the world. Because, you know, it's one of the best coffee beers in the world. If there's a "What's the best coffee beer?" thread and it has 100 replies, then there should be 100 mentions of Wake N Bake.,

    I drink almost entirely stouts...good thing I run I guess. I'm constantly trying new one's (about to go pick up two to try tonight) but thus far my favorite has been the BBC Bourbon Barrel Stout. I am in love with this beer.

    I am a beer geek AND a coffee geek, so for me I really enjoy brews where I can also get my hands on the coffee itself. I really enjoy Terrapin W&B and I appreciated it even more after I was able to brew a cup of W&B coffee. Don't get me wrong...there are plenty of beers that I enjoy that I can't try the coffee...but I appreciate the ones where I can get the coffee a good deal more.

    Well, the best I've ever had was BCBS Coffee. Fucking fantastic.

    More realistic ones might include Lagunitas Cappucino Stout and Founders Breakfast Stout as mentioned above. I'll add the Rogue Mocha Porter as well.

    Yep. Came here to say both this and Coffee Bender. Both meet the criteria of great coffee flavor while being a little bit on the lighter side of ABV.
