Perkulator from Darkhorse Brewing Company is pretty good, but honestly I haven't had too many coffee beers.

I dig me the Perkulator Coffee Doppleboch.
But i have to say that i love the Espresso Love Breakfast Stout. This might be bias cuz they're both made with ugly mug coffee :o)
I will say this, I am not a fan of Kings Mocha Java Stout. It kinda tastes like horse asshole (and no, i don't know what horse asshole taste like).

Bloomington Brewing Company in Bloomington, IN does a real nice Java Porter. Its a seasonal and only available at a few local joints, but very tasty.

Try the "Meantime coffee porter". It doesn't necessarily taste like amazing coffee, but I feel it has one of the better all around profiles of all the coffee beers I've tried.
Rogue Mocha Porter = gross (sorry rogue, I love you, but this beer is a huge swing and a miss)
Bells Java Stout = wayyyy too sweet and fake tasting (two hearted is the best beer ever though)
can't remember the names of all the others, but Meantime stands out among all of them.

Great divide brewing makes a great oak aged espresso stout "yeti"... Who's tried Mikkellers Beer Geek Breakfast? Pricey, but if you've had it, you know what I'm talking about!

Surly coffee bender is now my favorite coffee beer. Everyone in the area (its only in the twin cities and surrounding areas) needs to try this beer. I think they're using cold press coffee, and it is delicious.

Yes,yes,yes and I haven't even read the posts above yet. I'm still trying to get our local craft brewery to get another coffee stout or what ever going with my beans.
They mentioned it almost a year ago....

Meantime's Espresso Porter is a really good porter; I like that it doesn't hit you on the head with coffee. Locally, the Carolina Brewery does an awesome Jumpin' Bean Coffee Stout with Counter Culture's Sumatra Gayo. Both of them are more about the malt than any coffee flavor though. I just like the idea of it, and I do think it makes for a richer taste. Kind of like when you cook with coffee. I make spice rubs with coffee all the time and people are always surprised to hear that there's coffee in them. But it adds something really fantastic to the other spices and the meat.

Some theorise that curved tampers are preferable based on the shape of the dispersion screen. I find the idea that a curve would work well to push grounds to a more even distribution when tamping a mound rather than an even dispersion interesting. I…

Out of all of the intelligentsia coffees that you are currently serving, I enjoy the house blend the best. The taste and the aroma of the coffee doesn't leave a bitter taste in my mouth. I did enjoy the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe quite a bit. It will be m…
Calling all BXer's serving Intelligentsia coffee's. Let us talk and share what we are tasting and how we are brewing.
Definitely agree with Jay. Check out both Monmouth locations and the roastery if you can. Real friendly folks.
Sant-Eustachio and Tazzo d'Oro in Rome were two I swung by. Tazzo was actually closed as it was a Sunday. Eustachio was open and busy, serving some eye-opening cappucinos. Definitely a dip in, dip out, check out the sites.

I think growing coffee in many parts of the continental US is not a problem. The issue is if you added the word "Commercially viable". Pretty average coffee is succesfully grown outside of the tight coffee belt that stretches north to south between…
I'll agree 100%, and add two things to this, since we're talking about it.
By law, you must declare all of your tips. The "20% rule" and things like it that suggest that you only have to declare some portion are just rumor.
As Jay said, both the e…
