Winner of the 2024 Speedway Grand Prix mixed 4-Pack. Voted on by beer fans like you! This indulgent stout offers bold toasted coconut flavors that shine through both in the aroma and taste, complemented by smooth chocolate notes and the deep, rich roast of Vietnamese coffee. The result is a smooth, slightly sweet beer with a satisfying roastiness and a well-rounded balance of flavors that make every sip indulgent.

The toasted coconut is not a net gain on the regular Speedway. Plenty of coffee still, some dark chocolate, roast. Pours black and oily with mocha head. Bitter end with some caramel. Oilier than your typical Speedway. Can.

Can. Delicious plus coffee. A bit heavy on the caramel. Roasted malts, dark chocolate, some coconut and generic nuttyness. Delicious indeed, although a bit sweet. 848416 251231

My 200th rating of the "Stout - Pastry/Flavored - Imperial" style. 16 ounce can from Tavour. Canned on 08/11/2025. Opaque black pour. Puffy tan head. Roasted malt aroma hints at coconut and coffee. Flavor upfront is sweet roasted malt. Added notes of toasted coconut and dark coffee. Some warming alcohol in middle. Smooth and approachable for such a high ABV brew. Coffee flavor far outweighs the toasted coconut. Tasty, nonetheless.

Can. Pours inky black, medium beige head, great lacing. Aroma is rich espresso, mocha, coconut. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Speedway remains one of the best no BA impys out there.
