I've brewed a coffee beer once. Key word once.

LONDON, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- A British microbrewery has blended coffee and beer to make a beverage with as much caffeine as a cappuccino, the Telegraph reported Friday.
Meantime brewery of London began marketing the 4 percent alcohol drink Friday as a lunchtime pick-me-up and also as an evening accompaniment to chocolate and desserts.
Meantime is warning consumers, though, that it is not a beer to get drunk on, not least because its high caffeine content could leave drinkers feeling hyperactive.
A company spokesman said the new drink is a "dark mellow beer" with hints of vanilla and malt and best served chilled.
