Can shared by JK, thanks! Pours black with a light brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has dark grains and coffee with a bit of green pepper and a hint of raspberry coming through. Flavor has dark grains and coffee with a bit of roast and a hint of raspberry underlying.

16 oz. can, pours jet black with a small light brown head. Aroma has plenty of raspberry, medium roast, and gently earthy coffee. Flavour is cohesive, with plenty of roast, gentle cocoa, and nicely integrated raspberry. Really good infusion of raspberries. Excellent.

Canned 10/10/24, shared by tfontana on 6/14/25. Thanks, Tom.
Clear, dark. Small, tan head.
Not sugary, though quite a bit of raspberry extract or concentrate. Some earthy, nutty, lightly chocolatey cacao, but low stout character otherwise. No booze.
Bitter raspberry, seedy and juicy, tasteful, with excellent dark chocolate. Light roast, rich malt and good attenuation. Yeah, this is the Speedway I know and love. No alcohol anywhere. Not sure what happened with the horchata, but we're back on track.

16 oz can shared by tfontana, thank you Tom. Aroma is big raspberry and mild coffee. Flavor must be a purée or from concentrate because it’s a lot of raspberry. Mild chocolate and coffee without a question. Some lingering coffee.

Can (10/10/24) from Whole Foods, Sherman Oaks. Opaque dark brown with ring of head, nice viscosity, no lacing. Aroma is earthy, roasted malt, chocolate, late light raspberry. Taste follows aroma with more pronounced raspberry, late coffee. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, no sign of alcohol, moderately bitter finish. More subdued than I'd expect. Coffee only present maybe in bitter finish.

Black with a medium sized foamy brown head. Roasty with anise, coffee, raspberry and a hint of smoke. Very long finish. Full body.
