The most recent variation of our celebrated imperial stout honors the culinary character of the Hawaiian Islands by combining the lush sweetness of coconut with vanilla and Ka'u coffee. Named after the region of Hawaii from which it hails, Ka'u is produced from some of the world's rarest coffee beans. Slow-grown beneficiaries of nutrient-rich volcanic soil and idyllic climate, Ka'u offers nuances of caramel and hazelnut plus a soft floral character, all of which marry seamlessly with natural sweetness from the vanilla and coconut as well as Speedway Stout's inherently rich, chocolaty character. Say aloha to something truly exceptional and evocative of its namesake isles.

Taster showing pitch black with no head.
The nose shows intense notes of burnt coffee with light vanilla.
The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Coffee forward with a light coconut background and a mild bitterness.

Heavier vanilla but more mellow coconut than 2015 which is surprising. Hits a better balance with the roast.
