I recently received a 4-pack of Velvet Moon Mocha Stout and was quite pleasantly surprised.

This brew comes from Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co. and it is sold in proper pints.
Brewery and Taproom, 411 Waverly Oaks Road, Waltham, MA

The coffee part comes from a blend of Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Ethiopian beans from Atomic Coffee Roasters.

from a review:
"Pours black with a generous, fluffy tan head - looks appetizing. Nose is roasted malt with a hint of coffee. Taste pretty much follows suit - big roasted malt flavors cocooned by coffee notes. Slight bitterness from the coffee merges with the bitterness of the hops. A touch of chocolate and vanilla linger in the background. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side of creamy, Overall a pretty tasty and enjoyable stout."

IMHO, the flavor changes notably when it reaches room temperature and is best served quite chilled.
