At kegging or bottling add cold brewed coffee (2.5oz coffee steeped in 16oz of cold water for ~24 hours) I used a french press to strain but whatever you have should work, squeeze out as much liquid as possible. I used a this coffee http://www.amazon.com/Peets-Coffee-Whole-Guatemala-Sebastian/dp/B00ZRWBR8A - This coffee is a winner but any coffee you like would be an interesting twist. The flavor of the particular coffee really comes through. Enjoy
