Label Text:

“This indulgent mashup fuses the bold, barrel-aged intensity of our Speedway Stout with Modern Times’ Monster’s Park, then enhances it with Bird Rock Monkey Bite espresso and Dominican cacao nibs. The result is a rich boozy stout that captures the essence of a chocolate-covered espresso bean—roasty, chocolaty and layered with smooth coffee flavor.”
