An excellent IS, with great texture. The only thing I could ask for is a little more complexity and depth of flavor. Still haven’t found an IS to compare to the Speedway Stout.

Jul 21, 2008 Pours a dark black. Held it up to a bright light and could see NOTHING. Aroma a bit nutty, hint of coffee. Taste is OMG.... alcohol pretty well hidden but warms the palate on the way down. Vanilla, roasted coffee, nutty, just brilliant.

Jul 20, 2008 Pour was a nice creamy black with a dark head. Aroma was filled with roasted coffee and was the finish. Started with roasted malts and chocolate. Finished slightly bitter and roasted coffee.

Jul 18, 2008 22oz. Bomber. 2008 vintage. Pours a bit like engine oil, viscous and black with a medium frothy brown head. Aroma of dark chocolates, roasted barley, java and a bit of alcohol. Initial flavor has a noticeably roasty profile with some malty sweetness, caramel flavor and residual sugars. The bitterness really comes through in the end with a bit of a charred taste. Mouthfeel is medium heavy, but not as creamy as some imperial stouts. The finish is long, dry and bitter, like a good relationship gone south. Possibly Stone’s finest offering.
