Great idea, but it's already been done
Someone has created a beer that contains a huge jolt of caffeine. Big whoop. In one of my brewing books, a homebrewer experimented with bittering agents other than hops and was quite taken with the idea of using caffeine. His recipe included enough Vivarin tablets to make your heart beat like a jackrabbit's. Add that to a beer buzz and your evening will be off to a great start.

Hmmm... sounds like a recipe for the next Alliance brew :-)

I had a friend beg me to make it. My guess is that sooner or later I will break down and give it a go. Heart attack and liver damage can now be caused by a single beverage.

A few years back I made a batch of beer that was probably one of the best I ever brewed. It was an imperial stout, so thick you couldn't see through it. For bittering, instead of using hops, I used 4 ounces of bakers chocolate and a pot of strong, medium roast costa rican tarrazu coffee.
One of these days I'm going to see if I can reproduce it.

OO! What Skip said!
Now, just add a little Vivarin...
