Very, very, very, very sweet. Vanilla and chocolate, mostly. It's not unpleasant but I cannot imagine drinking an entire glass of this.

Sweet, strong coffee stout. The coffee is very good. Absolutely not syrupy, lots of roast.

Malty, roasty strong stout with a rich-but-not-too-sweet chocolate flavor. It's a lot to balance but I think this is lovely.

Just a taste. Lots of coffee, vegetal, a spicy finish. Very weirdly made me think of daikon pickle, which is not as negative a note as it sounds.

Sweet, smooth, dessert-like, like a chocolate coffee cordial.

Good stout. Vegetal tequila notes dominate.

Thick but not as sweet as I think I've come to expect from Speedway. A lovely, roasty coffee stout.

Great in small pour, very distinct coconut and lemon grass flavor.

Thick, sweet coffee flavor with a very smooth coconut flavor that is mellow and sweet rather than toasted or nutty. It's more coconut milk than coconut. Faint hint of lime at the end. It's a little too straightfowardly sweet to love, but it's definitely high-quality.

Standard malt-sweet, thick intense stout flavor typical of Speedway. The coffee here is decidedly complex, with wood, earthy and stonefruit flavors. Definitely strong. Tasty!

Another very strong coffee Speedway. Like the others, a touch on the bitter side, but otherwise rich and smooth. I wish I could do a side-by-side with the Kona, because it's very similar and I'd love to examine the differences.

Originally thought this was the Hawaiian Speedway, so disappointed not to get coconut. A nice, solid coffee beer, but I don't know that this was among my favorite coffee beers or my favorite Speedways. Still, it's a Speedway, so it was very good. In the direction of Sump but not all the way there.

Very hoppy, very bitter, but with very nice, vibrant hop fragrance. Moderate amber malt sweetness. This is a beer whose quality I can appreciate more than I want to drink it again.

The coconut flavor is really nice!

Nice coffee flavors but a little bit bland after the others I just had.

Reminds me of Maui's Imperial CoCoNut Porter, thick, umami. Lots of toasted coconut, which is always a win. Sweet, but with a bit of sourness on the finish. Delicious, like all of the Speedways I've tried so far.

Boozy, with a caramelized sugar finish. Same sourness on the finish as the Hawaiian Speedway. I preferred the other beer, but this was also delicious.

Toffee and malt, with more than a little alcohol right up front. I think we know now that this beer is a great candidate for aging.

This bottle was from either 2012 or 2013 - either way, the result was super-smooth, thick, mellow chocolate. A superb no-frills imperial stout that hid its alcohol content extremely well.

Very solid imperial stout on the dry, roasty side but with a good body as well, with an undercurrent of malt but not overt sweetness. Pretty much exactly what I like in a straight stout. It hid its booziness well, I thought. You could definitely tell it was strong, but it was much stronger than I guessed at 12%.

Much more Belgian than pale, a great fruitiness and none of the funkiness of some belgians

Opens as a really mellow, wit-like ale, before settling into a slightly savory göse-like coriander haze. Smells sweet, tastes less so, but finishes with a lingering metallic finish which is the only dark spot on an otherwise enjoyable beer.

not overwhelmingly hoppy. excellent with Mexican flavors of dinner tonight.

True to the Belgian Quad style, nice sweetness and dried fruits.

Nice caramel nose. Great carbonation, with brown sugar and moderate dried fruit on the tongue, and a nice malty finish. Somewhere in the middle you can sometimes taste the 12% ABV but generally, it seems way too mellow for an ale of that strength. Closest reference: like a stronger St. Bernardus 8 -- yum!
