Nothing to dislike here. Its a big, robust, rich Speedway variant chock full of coffee aroma, subtle bitterness and an underlying sugary presence that'll sneak up on you in a pleasant way. Lots fo good barrel flavor and surprisingly easy to drink given it's high ABV. Top quality beer.

750 mL bottle poured into a teku glass. 2019 vintage.
Black with a thin light brown head.
Nose: Rich coffee and bourbon - similar to BA Speedway but coffee seems more vibrant.
Taste: Phenomenal. Huge coffee presence up front followed quickly by bourbon. Barrel presence is robust but very smooth. Based on the description this shouldn’t differ substantially from BA Speedway in the coffee department but I’m getting a much more in-your-face espresso feel from this versus the normal chocolatey Speedway coffee. Doing a side by side comparison with BA Speedway, this is also notably smoother and has a stronger bourbon presence.
Feel: Rich, full-bodied. Medium-low carbonation.
