We’ve matured our signature Coffee Imperial Stout in premium bourbon barrels for up to one year to create Barrel-Aged Speedway Stout, with the perfect blend of flavors. Notes of oak, vanilla, and bourbon add another level of complexity to this beer’s already massive flavor profile of chocolate, locally roasted coffee, and roasted barley. Designed to be enjoyed now or aged in the bottle for years to come, this special release is truly a unique beer that is smooth as it is rare.

Can at Speedway Tasting. Full body, medium carbonation. Quite intense, high bitterness, med-high sweetness, medium warmth, a little bit burning, but not too much. Very high coffee, medium burnt, but mostly clean coffee. Med-high cocoa. Medium bourbon, woody. Quite the ride, not the most complex, but sufficiently so, and very intense. Excellent.
