Speedway Stout is a HUGE Imperial Stout, with pounds and pounds of coffee added during conditioning for a little extra kick! This is a limited-edition Formula and it'll definitely get you racing! It is available in 750 ml. champagne bottles. Appearance: Jet Black, with a toast-brown head. Flavor: Starts with a strong coffee and dark chocolate sensation, then fades to a multitude of toasty, roasty and caramelly flavors. Finishes with a nice fullness but dry enough not to be cloying. Aroma: COFFEE! And some other stuff. And coffee. Mouthfeel (body/texture): Velvety smooth texture. Clean and crisp, full-bodied. Warmth from the high alcohol content lightens up the feel a bit. Still, you won't fool your taste buds -- this beer is HUGE!

[1] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (2/1/2010 12:42:26 PM)
"Pours out in an aopque black topped with a low firm pale brown head. Big aroma of coffee, nougat, rich dark malts. Full-bodied with strong solid notes of of dark coffee dark chocolate and rich solid dark malts. Perfect mouthfeel. Long rich aftertaste of coffee, dark chocolate, burnt sugar and cocoa. A stone rock solid brew with simplistic wonderful flavours.

[2] Review by Doodler from Denver, CO, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (1/20/2010 2:03:34 AM)
"A bomber - shared with friends, poured into a Pilsner glasses. Aroma has lots of chocolate, fresh roasted coffee and malty waifs as it warms. Pours pitch black with thick creamy head that's initially nearly overflowing, reducing to a creamy skim. Decent lacing. great oily mouthfeel and taste. I can see why it is so highly rated. ABV's are well hidden, flavors are dark roasted coffee and malts Lots of dark chocolate. Delicious and chewy. Sir! May I have another?
Overall impression: Excellent imperial Stout. Must....buy....more....

"WOW. Finally! Can't get Alesmith here, so there's a bit of added intrigue to the flavor. This does not disappoint! It's HUGE. Loaded with all of the expected goodness of a stout, but very well balanced. Neverending lacing. It's HUGE. It's wonderful. It's fantastic. BBBbbbrrrrrrrrrrritski."

[4] Review by kinger from USA who has tried this beer once. (12/6/2009 7:48:38 PM)
"At last some Speedway has found it's way into my glass. While enjoying this stout I realized I wasn't really blown away by any one thing, and soon understood that what makes this great is simply how well it's made. Opaque dark, rich brown body with a diminishing medium brown head and streaky/spotty lacing. Coffee and chocolate aromas dominated by burnt, roasted malts. Exceptional feeling from this beer, drinkable and approachable. Very smooth with a nice dry finish. Flavors mirror the robust aromas. Standard Imperial Stout qualities with an over abundance of quality coffee. "

"Bottle Date: 2007
Aroma: roasted malt, coffee
Appearance: black/brown, opaque
Mouthfeel: Full bodied, thick
Flavour: bitter coffee
Overall: A fine example of the style, it's a shame that one has to travel to California to get a bottle or two
