Big, oily dark chocolate nose with heavy roasted coffee. Taste is sweet, lots of dark chocolate and coffee. Soft and creamy. Very nice.

Growler courtesy of GZt2, thank you! Black color, large brownish beige head. Aroma of coffee, light cinnamon and spice. Taste is roasted coffee, dark bittersweet cocoa. Very nice.

Growler thanks to richiesd. Pours an inky black. Thick, creamy coffee head. Thick formation. Sheets of lacing. Nose is cinnamon chunk cookie, anise, hazelnut, butter. Taste is rich, spicy, chocolate chunk cookie, some lemon and lactic acid. Awesome. A winner. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Growler. Rating #22. Jet black with a real nice brown head. Dark fruit and roast aroma. Fantastic taste, sweet and full of all sorts of rich flavors. (2543)

Growler to sniffer. Thick black pour with thin brown head. The nose reeks of sweet coffee, dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, coffee, coffee and more coffee. The flavor is not as sweet as the nose. Huge coffee flavor, bitter chocolate, roasted malt and a little ashy. Very full body, not boozy at all. An excellent variation of an excellent beer.

On tap at Alesmith it is almost black in the glass with a small head. Aroma of coffee and vanilla. The coffee continues in the taste but not as heavy as there regular Speedway. There is a little bit of molasses and vanilla. Long smooth finish.

On draft at alesmith near san diego. Pours black with a thick brown head. Coffee and chocolate aroma. More coffee, raisins, and red currants. Fabulous.

Growler fill much thanks to alex for the opportunity... Pours a deeper shade of stout, slick and oily, and topped with a thin film of tannish head... Aroma of smooth vanilla and a sweetened coffee nature. Almost a touch of coconut involved to boot... Flavors are more of the same with smooth chocolate and roasted notes with touches of lactose sweetness. Fuller bodied with light to medium carbonation. Semi-sweet with a touch of faint earthy bitterness on the backend.

On tap at Alesmith. Pours a deep black with light brown/khaki color. Aroma is heavy coffee, cacao, frosting and more coffee grounds. Taste is super coffee forward. Coffee bitterness, slight sweetness but balanced compared to what I was expecting. Creamy, milk texture. Overall, pretty nice and always a nice version of speedway.

Excellent, super smooth version of speedway. Coffee is less bitter, very smooth with hazelnut and chocolate flavors. Aroma is fantastic. Goes down way too easy for the alcohol. It’s thick and rich and fantastically easy to drink a super huge beer.
