Tasting Notes
Blackberry Pie Speedway Stout pours a deep, obsidian black with a rich mocha head and waves of fresh berry aroma, toasted sugar, and subtle cocoa. On the palate, you’ll find luscious layers of ripe blackberry compote, vanilla cream, and lightly roasted coffee, balanced by a sweet, pastry-like finish reminiscent of golden pie crust. Full-bodied, velvety, and fruit-forward, it’s a decadent stout that marries Speedway’s roasty sophistication with bright berry dessert character.
