Mar 18, 2008 My 100th rating!! Really excited about this one. Pours jet black with a thick, dark tan head that quickly disappears. Aroma of roasted coffee, chocolate, and alcohol. Taste of coffee, toffee, chocolate, and... coffee. Like everything else from Alesmith, gets better with each sip. Big bitter finish. Velvety mouth feel. Warming finish. I’m seriously considering moving to San Diego for the beer.

Mar 16, 2008 It’s a cold day when the Gators don’t make the NCAA. It’s a cold day when it is raining and cold outside. Put them together, and I realized it was time to crack open the Speedway. You know how this beer tastes. It’s pure chocolate and richness. I don’t need to tell you that. Hell, I don’t need to tell you anything. This is a great stout.

Mar 16, 2008 2007 Bottle 750mL - Beautiful black pour with a healthy tan head. On the first sip, lots more malt than I remembered, but a well rounded overall finish of bitter chocolate, coffee and sweet brown sugar. Had to share it or risk sleeping on a friends couch, but as fine of an Imperial Stout as you are going to find. I can’t wait to see how this one turns out after a few years on the rack.

Mar 16, 2008 Thick dark black brown liquid with a deep medium brown thick head. Nose is chocolately and hints of a deep roasted malt. Flavor is a warming mix of roast coffe and dark chocolate. Bearutiful finish. Thick satiny body. A stunning beer. Let this one sit for 2 years before I popped it. Was well worth it!!!

Mar 14, 2008 Drank it with Juancho at the Ginger Man in NYC. As an imperial stout and coffee lover this is heaven. Tasted like the finest Illy expresso brewed in the streets of Rome or Florence. Masterful.

Mar 14, 2008 @ Gingerman in NYC and then at Hop Devil.... Wow. Looks like an espresso with a wonderful thin/brown tinged head. Sark Chocolate, bitter coffee, sweet malty caramel flavors, smooth, smooth, smooth.
Love it.
