Coffee beer is fucking disgusting. What is this thread.

Its honestly alright. If its a decent porter and you like coffee, whats not to like?

 

[ThisGuy]

So does it have caffeine in it? Is it like a legal speedball-lite lol?

 

[G-Bus]

Just had this over the weekend:


Delicious, but I can't drink more than 2 in one sitting.

Didn't know they had a milk stout. Interesting...

 

[Chichikov]

It has a little, but in most (all?) beers it's not really enough to have a noticeable effect.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I had no idea this was a thing. Want.

 

[MikeDown]

I had no idea this was a thing. Want.

ditto, I need to run to the store tomarrow and try some of this

 

[Bsigg12]

This is a thread I can get behind.

 

[aliengmr]

My father in-law brewed some wicked chocolate ale, I fucking loved it. Easily my favorite beer.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Yeah, I gotta get in on this. Hopefully I can find some!

 

[Chuckie]

This is not really a thing in Holland. I have tried hundreds of different beers, but coffee beer isn't one of them.

I don't like stouts, so I probably won't like this either. Still would like to try though.

Edit: Apparently there is at least 1 coffee beer (Belgian) available here. Might try it.

 

[maquiladora]

Chocolate is better. This is amazing. Smells like a glass of dairy milk chocolate.

 

[TriniTrin]

So does it have caffeine in it? Is it like a legal speedball-lite lol?

Some have a little but it is mostly for the taste of it!

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

What about coffee wine? I have a coffee port from Hawaii right now that is delicious

 

[butzopower]

I enjoy Victory at Sea, but BP's Sea Monster Stout has it beat both in taste and in bottle art.

 

[onadesertedisland]

Java Stout is a most delicious beer.

 

[Ultima_5]

A little Missouri brewery "Mother's" makes a pretty good one. Winter Grind. I'm bummed I live in Oklahoma now and will have zero access to it.

I moved from MO To OK to MO and I'm so stoked to have access to mothers again. They're in Springfield right? Probably not that long of a trip

 

[Lunar15]

Florida represents pretty well in this category:

Cigar City Cuban Style Espresso Brown Ale

Due South Calling All Cars: Coffee & Donut Porter (A bit on the sweeter side, but still good)

I think my favorite is Founders Breakfast Stout though. So fucking good.

 

[Yaboosh]

I don't know how Atwater Block is still in business. Every single bottle I have had from them was infected.

 

[Spaghetti]

i'm not a big beer guy, but i love coffee so i would be 1000000% down to try one of these someday.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Coffee and chocolate porters/stouts are my Winter jam. So tasty.

 

[daveo42]

Wig Splitter by Three Floyds

Best Espresso/Coffee Stout I've ever had and one of my personal favorite beers.

 

[theapg]

Slightly off topic but in the same vein, has anyone ever tried this? How is it?

 

[Shake Appeal]

KBS is God-tier coffee stout. It's basically the Breakfast Stout above aged in bourbon barrels for a year.

Beer =/= Ale

/snob

Ale is a type of beer. You are doing it wrong.

 

[Iorv3th]

How is the flavor? Never really liked stouts, does this taste different enough to try? Prefer Lagers and Bocks.

I personally hate them like EVERY single damn one I have tried.

Me too. They are far too bitter for me. Always reminds me of the bitter beer face commercials and just think "oh that's popular now".

 

[The Wall]

I love the taste of cold black coffee. I gotta try this sometime.

 

[mcfrank]

This year's bourbon county coffee is no good though.

Best coffee beer to me.

 

[pokeystaples]

Oh man, so dang good.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Disagree. German Helles is the beer of forever.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Also, if you're in NC, this is your friend:

 

[internetwolf]

I need some of these for work they look great

 

[InfiniteBento]

Florida represents pretty well in this category:

Cigar City Cuban Style Espresso Brown Ale

I love Buddy Brew coffee. Was offered a job with them a while ago but didn't take it cause of Tampa being super far. I had no idea they paired up with Cigar City.

I need to get my hands on this beer !

 

[andycapps]

Peanut butter milk stout from Tailgate Brewery in Nashville, Tennessee gets my vote as best beer. Mmmm

Slightly off topic but in the same vein, has anyone ever tried this? How is it?

I actually haven't had that one but I love all of Terrapin's stuff. Unfortunately, can't get it in Ohio yet as they don't have distribution here.

They also have this coffee stout

And this Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter is amazing

It's a specialty, so I've only seen cans of it once. Not sure if they do a batch every year.

 

[AstroZombie]

Nothing beats a good IPA, maybe a good Belgian.

 

[DoctorFling]

Coffee beer? My two favourite things combined? Do they sell these in Ireland?

 

[Kinokou]

I don't like beer, but I'll try one of these coffee beers if I ever see one.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Never tried it but I'll have to give one a try this weekend. The only coffee + "____" combo I ever liked was

Absolutely loved it despite the fact it gave me horrible headaches and vertigo

 

[NealMcCauley]

My personal favorite beer:

It's so god damn refreshing...

I don't like coffee at all, but I do love porters every once in awhile.

That's one of my faves too. Everywhere around me charges an arm and a leg because they know people will still buy it at a high price.

 

[keffri]

I'm not a huge fan of beer or coffee. No thanks.

 

[Nappuccino]

I moved from MO To OK to MO and I'm so stoked to have access to mothers again. They're in Springfield right? Probably not that long of a trip

Probably a trip that's worth it. Schafly and Boulevard might be worth a visit too. You could do a road trip from KC, to Springfield, to STL. See all of Missouri's waistline and get drunk too.

 

[hipbabboom]

I like beer.
I like coffee.
I like Genius.

OP, will this somehow blend everything I enjoy into one or will it betray my expectations based on those three like?

 

[Mindlog]

Coffee and chocolate porters/stouts are my Winter jam. So tasty.

Agreed. I wouldn't necessarily place one category above the other as they're both great.

I can taste it already.

Florida represents pretty well in this category:

More agreement all the way around.

I like beer.
I like coffee.
I like Genius.

OP, will this somehow blend everything I enjoy into one or will it betray my expectations based on those three like?

Absolutely.

 

[hairypeckpeck]

While not a coffee beer per se, it definitely smells and tastes like one.

Speakeasy's payback in San Fransico is probably my favorite at the moment.

 

[Oni Jazar]

Damn shame no one mentioned the best?

Maple Bacon Coffee Porter

 

[gaugebozo]

Disagree. German Helles is the beer of forever.

[Lombaszko]

Weird! I just bought a six pack of these last night:

Narragansett Coffee Milk Stout. It's very good and under $10.

I saw the Ballast Point was $15, is it worth it?

 

[HiResDes]

No Founder's Breakfast or Epic Big Bad Baptist in the OP...For fucking shame

Also beers with cinnamon,coffee, and chile are probably my favorite thing now:

 

[Shanlei91]

The OG

 

[HiResDes]

Also Sixpoint is about to drop this:

 

[Coolluck]

I don't even like coffee and yet coffee beers really appeal to my tastes so well.
