Commercial Description:
Bottle conditioned.
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!

Bottle. Thick as molasses and black as could be with a rich, tan head that stuck around for quite awhile. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. One of the best pre-tasting impressions I have encountered. Flavor is coffee and caramel with just enough alcohol at the finish to remind you that it’s 12%. Needs to be available in Washington yesterday.

This is one of my first stouts that turned me on to russian imperial stouts. This stout is dark as night and has everything you expect in a stout. raisins plums, coffee, roasty malts, chocolate, and some booze on there as well. One of my favorites in this style

I dont care if Speedway Stout was only served out of the anus of a dirty frenchman, I would still crave it nightly. It poured as black as night, with a medium brown head. Smells of charred coffee, dark bitter chocolate, and booze. sweet sweet booze. Its heavy, it will take a darn good time to drink the whole thing.

Pitch black with a dark tan head, nice lacing. Nice milk chocolate/coffee burnt malt aroma. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. awesome taste of dark chocolates, expresso, roasted malts with a nicely bitter alcohol tang to finish. My favorite stout for sure

Bottle, rating 1300. Pours near black with a chocolate brown head. Roasted malt aroma, with molasses, loads of coffee and a bit of dark chocolate sweetness. The first sip is intense, coffee, roasted malts, and chocolate. Mellows as it warms and your palate gets acclimated, and notes of molasses, dark chocolate and caramel peek through. A nice roasty and lightly hoppy bitterness lingers. Certainly an outstanding beer, and although it isn’t one of my top imp. stouts, I can see why it’s rated so high.

750ml silver wrapping into a large snifter. Pours thick black with a medium to thick mocha head with incredible sudsy lacing. You have to let this one breathe and warm to fully appreciate the aroma. With patience I got milk chocolate, raisins, prunes, port wine, and a good portion of hops.. very complex. Flavor is a roasty milk chocolate with almost a belgian sour quailty with hops and burnt espresso bitterness in the finish, very unique. Nice creamy palate, slightly thin but very drinkable.

Bottled. Pours pitch black with a light brown head. Nose of black coffee , molasses and bitter chocolate. Sweet flavour with coffee, raisins, prunes and roasted malt. Full bodied. Long malty finish with an alcohol bite. Just excellent.
