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!

My favorite Russian imperial. Very dark, black I would say. Full of chocolate, smoke, and coffee. Plenty of malt. Thick but not syrupy.

Bottle, aged for two years. Oily black pour with a thin light coffee head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee and faint smoke. Fantastic taste of bitter chocolate and coffee Also had notes of roasted almonds. Completes with a nice dry bitter finish with warming alcohol present.

I waited a long time to my lay a hand on this one and finally found in on a trip to So. California. This poured BLACK. Not dark brown but black with no light at all even on the edges and threw up a very fat tan head that lasted a long time. Nose is very powerful and of coffee and chocolate. Very thick mouthfeel. Flavor is rich roasted malts with the chocolate and coffee in abundance. Finish is dry and bitter. Simply amazing stuff. Maybe my best stout ever. I loved this stuff.

Had this is the closet for more then a year. Cracked it after a bow hunt in NW WI. Jet black, choclatley smooth stuff. Lots of flavors going on, but I sure dont get much in the way of coffee in taste or aroma, so thats dissapointing. Very sweet, glad to split this with a few people.

Crushed this one with TheDude. Black pour with a rocky, tan head. Aroma is of strong coffee, dark chcolates. Flavor is exhausting. So many flavors. Lots of coffee and chocolate, roasted delicious malt. Mouthfeel is velvety and chewy. I was tired after drinking this, in a good way, like post-sex.

Another great Honkeybra crush. Dark as John McCain’s campaign, possibly darker, but it’s a tough call. One of the smoothest, velvetiest mouthfeels of all time I have to imagine. Flavor is absolutely exhausting. A single sip is almost too much to absorb. Good luck if you try to crush one yourself, and if you do, I’ll see you in Hell.

750 bottle. Took to a neighborhood block party to share with a couple of neighbors. Black and thick, tan sturdy head. Remarkably smooth and flavorful. Chocolate and coffee flavors obviously. Also malt, toffee, deep fruitiness. Lots going on in the mouth. Smoooooooth. Really good overall.

Pours a deep black with a frothy tan head. Aroma is lightly sweet dark fruit and a lot of grounf coffee. Flavor is less chocolate along with some chocolate and sweet malt. Heavy bodied, chewy mouthfeel. Finishes dry, long and bitter.
