At the rental house next door to the Whiskey River Ranch with family. Enjoying this imperial Stout with Ryan and my son. All of the Speedways are interesting and all seem to be 12%. Poured into a fancy beer glass with moderate high head, deep brown color. Disappears quickly. Blackberry aroma, faint milk chocolate, and boozy. Flavor brings a different story. At first the blackberry is powerful, crisp, not near as sweet as I was expecting. It combines with the alcohol and together they overshade both the chocolate and the vanilla. Second and third shift it seems to give a softer feel and a little bit of the vanilla is easier to find. The finish also has a subtle bitterness, not chocolate bitterness but more of a hops characteristic. Very late in the finish, along with weak blackberry, there might be a very obscured bread quality that was probably encouraged by its blackberry pie name. Overall, good stout, it's interesting, worth trying, but I would not go out of my way to buy another. Not the best Speedway.

Oh wow! Faint blackberry on the nose. Solid mouthfeel without feeling too heavy or oily. Blackberry is king but allows the vanilla and coffee to make their presence known. Alcohol is present but not harsh or off putting. Love it.
