It’s my favorite style, & always has been. Lots of creep from other styles in the 4-4.6 range, but my top 20 are 4.7 & 4.8...and 13 of them of that top tier are imperial stouts. Probably a few Speedways.
The other 7 are King Henry, Firestone Walker 13, Trillium Mosaic Cutting Tiles, Ayinger Celebrator, New Glarus Belgian Red, Cascade Sang Royale, & (tenuously, as it varies year to year) RR Pliny The Younger.

How about we restate the question; how far down before you reach an impy stout, or IPA for that matter.


Sorry everyone i got my question wrong. I’ll go and get my coat.

Of my top 25 beers, 8 of them are Speedways. Without Alesmith, my numbers would definitely be different.

Beer geek Speedway, Brewer’s Blend Vietnamese, Bourbon Barrel Vietnamese, Velvet Speedway, Jamaica Blue mountain Speedway, Brewers Blend Speedway, Double Hammerhead Speedway, and my favorite beer of 2017 (so far) Boxcar Speedway all top 25.
8 Speedways and 9 other Impy’s in my top 25 or so.

Imperial stout is the reason why I rate beer to begin with.
