AleSmith Speedway Stout - Vietnamese Coffee

Dunkel malzig vanilliger, vergleichsweise milder Antrunk. Noten von Schokolade, dunkles Holz, leicht nach Rosinen. 10/10/11/11//11

(bottle, speedway tasting) black-brown colour with a frothy dark beige head. aroma of brown sugar and chocolate fudge, with some notes of cornflakes, cookie dough and teriyaki sauce. flavour is mostly vanilla icing, chocolate malts and ethanol, with some light notes of peanuts, cold coffee and a rather dry kräuterlikör finish. heavy-bodied with soft carbonation.

Piwo absolutnie genialne. W zapachu kawowo, czekoladowo. Smak to poezja. Kawowo z gorzką czekoladą, trochę karmelowo. Bardzo przyjemna kawowa goryczka.

Kran w Jabeerwocky. Czarne, nieprzejrzyste. Piana beżowa, drobna, zbita, kremowa. Bardzo trwała, która pięknie zdobi szkło. Aromat do czasu ogrzania się do temperatury pokojowej nie porywa - jest mało intensywne z przewagą kawy, czekolady mlecznej. Po ogrzaniu zdecydowanie poprawa. Na pierwszym planie oczywiście kawa, którą przypomina ziarno użyte do Black Eyed King Imp - Brewdog następnie mleczna czekolada. W smaku to samo co w aromacie z dodatkiem nuty orzechów. Konsystencja kremowa w miarę oleista. Goryczka niska, z lekką nutą alkoholową - przyjemną skądinąd. Wysoka pijalność.

Bardzo dobre piwo chodź bardziej smakowała mi wersja Hawaiian.

Keg at Beer Gonzo tap room. Pours jet black with dirty tan head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate, a little booze and coconut. Taste is coconut, chocolate and coffee with a little booze and cocoa on the end. Really nice stuff

First beer I’ve sampled from the new tap room at Beer Gonzo. Ludicrously smooth, creamy mouth feel. Body starts off looking black but later resolves into dark brown with reddish hues. Nose very much coffee and chocolate. Taste brings in some licqorice and brown sugar too. Like the "standard" speedway, not packed with subtle surprises, but a luxurious take on coffee and roasted malts.

Growler Fill, Keg at Beer Gonzo Taproom, Earlsdon, Coventry consumed at home Saturday 28th January 2017 Pours pitch black with a lovely tan head, looks good, I was expecting oily legs down the side of the glass but it’s not so oily. Lovely thick mouthfeel, but not too cloying, coffee comes through, plenty of hops, demerara and a steady bitterness and roasty combo’. Warmth from the alcohol floods through, for a while I think that it’s like a big boozy Irish coffee. Super indulgent, it’s a corker. A8 A5 T9 P5 17 Ov 4.4

A perfect creaminess. With no milk sugars impressive. Nose is chocolate. Taste is smooth very similar to Vietnamese coffee. Maybe closer to chocolate milk. Head that lingers. Nice thick mouthfeel of course at this abv it should. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Yields a coal black color with a huge, creamy dark brown head. Smells of sweet cold brew coffee, lots of milk chocolate and just a little hint of roast. Molasses and spicy licorice mingle into this foundation, producing a milk chocolate powder aroma. Has a thinner, velvet mouthfeel, with flavors ranging from sweet to dry, without a lot of nuances in between, tied together by a lower carbonation. Tastes of rock sugar and hot chocolate, molasses, surprisingly thin on the palate, with a slowly evolving coffee dryness. Once the coffee takes over, this begins to taste interesting, bringing flavors of dried herbs, earth, wood bark and sugared espresso beans to the palate, pungent and harmonious. Finishes bitter, bready and rustic, with its initial silkness. If it wasn’t for the thin mouthfeel, with just a little more complexity to it, the beer could become mighty fine. As it stands, there is quite a bit unused potential to be found in here.

Tasted from draft. Pours black with beige head. Aroma is robust coffee and some chocolate. Taste is moderately sweet with mild bitter finish. Flavors of coffee and dark chocolate. Very well done. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
