Tripel or Scottish Ale with Coffee

[alers22]

Has anyone brewed a Tripel or Scottish Ale with coffee? Our homebrew club is having a competition on Learn to Homebrew Day and the only stipulation is that you use coffee. Extra points for non-porters and stouts.

Any other successful coffee beers you have brewed which aren't stouts or porters??

Thanks!!

Ive done a coffee kolsch (abomination to the reinheitsgebot) and a coffee blond ale. I use 3oz whole beans like a dry hop and it gives a great coffee character. Better than cold steeping IMO. Its weird to see a yellow beer that tastes liek coffee

A local brewery (Wynkoops) does a coffee Vienna lager, which is pretty good. I would say that it is in the general ball-park of a Scottish ale, so that could work pretty well. A coffee-tripel sounds gross to me.
