Let's Talk About Ceps
Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to innovation as long as it's not just novelty for novelty's sake - it just seems a bit perverse to call a dark beer an "IPA" when the P stands for Pale. It's like how the Aussies drink something called Victoria 'Bitter' which isn't actually a bitter at all but a lager (well, it's nominally a lager - it's such a sorry excuse for a brew that you'd be hard pushed to tell from the taste whether it was intended as a lager or a bitter, it's just a generic 'beer').
If you like beers flavoured with other drinks, look out for O'Hanlon's* Port Stout, it's absolutely wonderful.
*They're based somewhere in the West Country but are apparently run by an Irishman and make lots of traditional Irish-style beers like red ales etc. - annoyingly hard to get hold of although you might have luck in e.g. a larger ASDA, which has a surprisingly good beer selection.
Edit: "coffee IPA" sounds like the worst idea anyone has ever had. Coffee stout/porter, yes - IPA, not so much.
