Notes / Commercial Description:
Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee beans are grown in the fertile soil of some of the highest Caribbean peaks, making it one of the most prized gourmet coffees in the world. This rare coffee uses lightly roasted Arabica beans to create subtle acidity and a well-balanced chocolaty finish. With the help of local roaster, Mostra Coffee, these 100% Blue Mountain beans were sourced from the renowned Mavis Bank Coffee Factory in Jamaica. Carefully roasted and cold-brewed, this coffee is the perfect complement to our award-winning Imperial Stout.

Dark headed deer Chase very strongly of Jamaican coffee. Good balanced but I personally prefer the regular speed waste out as it is. Either way good drinking.

The over-under on the beer weight I hauled back from CA in three weeks of work is about 55 lbs. I’d take the over. 22 oz. foil-capped bottle brought back upon specific request of my coffee-loving wife
Black. The nose is 92% dark roast, 9% coffee. I’m an auditor by trade.
Speedway Stout – Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee: I don’t drink coffee, so the subtleties of the bean are mostly lost on my infantile palate, but this one goes in a different direction that the base beer. There’s roast, there’s chocolate, with additional dark fruit that I do not get from the original. I’m not a fan of fruit + stout, but it’s subtle enough here. Boozy on the finish. Full, thick, & despite the ABV, goes down the gullet quickly.
Easily the weakest of the Speedways I’ve had, but that’s still praiseworthy. Very good beer.
