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 jerrymorrison from lockhart, TX, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (10/7/2008 3:20:08 PM)
"My first one had an initial aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, some fruits and alcohol was also present. Apperance of used motor oil with a thick dark tan head that settled quickly, and left plenty of lace. Flavors of roasted coffee, which was heavy all the way through. It also had hints of fruit and the dark chocolate was also quite noticeable. Together they all blended well even though the roasted coffee was dominant, still the others managed to get noticed. Overall a pretty fine brew, i am glad i finally found some. However on opening my second last night it wasnt as enjoyable because the alcohol dominated everything in both smell and flavor, it was kind of disappointing in comparison to my first sample. Guess that i will have to drink a third one to see what the truth is."

[2] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/18/2008 4:05:06 AM)
"I brought this bottle back from California a while ago, and finally decided to try it earlier this week, and was not disappointed. It pours a very dark brown, slightly thick, with a tan head. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, anc chicoree. The flavour was more coffee than anything else, although there was a fruity taste as well."

"I thought, seeing as Tropical Storm (Hurricane) Eduardo is hitting Houston tomorrow, I might be washed out to sea, and it would be a shame not to enjoy some really outstanding and rare beers tonight... First off is a beer that I have wanted for years... Pours a jet black midnight colour, dark as the night when you were a kid sneaking out at 2am....Lacing is really good, spots and dots, lower than expected head, but for 12% good... light alcohol, fresh coffee beans, chocolate from a century old swiss chocolate shop.... wonderful in the mouth, oily and chewy- smooth as silk but bold like a new magnum 500 sharpie ... I don't get it, the points (score) doesn't seem to match up on how much I am loving this beer, its not the most wow'ing beer i have had, but its just fuckin good!.. 'shit yeah, man!' ..'i am the walrus'..'are you a Lebowski achiever' ... I really like this beer, fuck that stuffed animal you hug at night,i want to spoon this beer when I go to bed..."

[4] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer once. (7/14/2008 8:11:09 AM)
"Bottled. Thick black colour with mediumsized brown head. Aroma is sweet malts, coffee, chocolate, licirice, alcohol and some sour smoked wood. Also a bit vanilla as it warms up. Flavour is very much the same kicking you in the face while drinking. A very nicely balanced big ABV Imperial stout, which still manages to be both powerful yet so smooth and nice. "

[5] Review by jlozier from Lone Pine, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/20/2008 3:02:29 AM)
"My friend gave this to me for my birthday. I decided to crack it open when he was here and a few others friends were around too. I don't even know where to begin with this. The aroma wafting out of the glass was heavy and rich with notes of coffee, some chocolate, and thick hops. The pour into the glass is like motor oil, but the carbonation is soft enough to keep it from becoming syrupy. Looks like a black hole of a beer (no light escaping, and dense enough to absorb all surrounding light by creating its own gravitational pull) with a dark tan foamy head. There is a lot of coffee in the taste, and the finish is dry with a heavy espresso-like aftertaste. Heavy on the coffee, yes, but also chocolaty, and oh so smooth. This is truly a gift to be cherished and remembered."
