I'm trying to figure out the name of a beer...?
I drank a great Irish beer that is very similar to Guinness but has a strong coffee finish. I CAN'T REMEMBER what it's called, and I can't find it on Google. I remember the font of the name of the beer was Celtic-style...

(4.3%). This beer won both a gold medal and a championship trophy in the Brewing Industry International Awards in 2000. It has a rich cappuccino coffee nose with notes of roasted grain, liquorice and berry fruits. Rich grain and tart, bitter hops dominate the palate with powerful hints of blackcurrant fruit. The finish is bitter and hoppy, with tart fruit and coffee notes. Malt: high. Fruit high. Hops: moderate to high.

O’hara’s Celtic Stout

All the descriptions I read mention coffee, it is Irish and has a Celtic font.
My other best guesses:
Great Divide Saint Bridget's Porter
A trace of chocolate in the aroma of this deep-brown porter signals its sweet mocha start, followed by a roastier, coffeelike body and toasty finish.
Here is more descriptions and a picture:

It is from Colorado.
The Celtic-style, though, made me think of: Felinfoel Stout

Though it is not coffee-like.
I also thought of Mackeson Triple Stout, which is rich as h*ll.
