Almogabar (1259) - MARIA DE HUERVA (ZARAGOZA), SPAIN - SEP 23, 2023UPDATED: SEP 23, 2023 Copa de 30 cl en el 8° aniversario de Beer Corner en Zaragoza. Color negro, espuma marrón fina y aspecto muy denso. Aroma a chocolate negro, café, malta tostada, caramelo tostado. En boca de nuevo chocolate, café sobre todo. Después vainilla, fruta negra y un postgusto intenso y amargo. Deliciosa
fantti (1277) - FINLAND - JUL 29, 2023UPDATED: JUL 29, 2023 Tölkki @ Alko. Kaatuu snifteriin mustana, noin 1,5 sormen paksuinen tumma vaahto on hyvin pysyvää laatua. Tuoksussa ensimmäisenä hyppää paahteinen kahvisuus, mutta siihen tulee mukaan lakritsista otetta, hieman ehkä suklaatakin. Hieman soijaa ja kuivattua tummaa hedelmää on huljuttelemalla, mutta kahvisuus kuitenkin hallitsevana. Maussa lakritsi, tumma hedelmäisyys ja tumma sekä maitosulkaa ovat vahvimmat, kahvisuuttakin on, mutta ei aivan niin vahvasti kuin tuoksussa. Maltaisuus on hyvin paahteista. lähes palaneen tyylistä, soijaakin on. Suutuntuma on hyvin täyteläinen, alkoholi lämmittää mukavasti. Tuoksu hieman hirvitti, koska en ole niin kahvisten stoutien ystävä, mutta maku tuo lakritsia ja tummaa hedelmää kahvin rinnalle tasapainottaen sitä. Speedway Stout on ollut itselläni 'bucket listillä' jo vuosia ja on hienoa nyt päästä sitä maistamaan, vaikka ei tajuntaa räjäyttänytkään.
ReuvenSmienk (852) - Houten, NETHERLANDS - JUL 16, 2023UPDATED: JUL 16, 2023 Ondoorzichtig zwart bier met een 3-vingerdikke donker bruine schuimkraag van gemiddelde structuur die lang blijft staan. Ik ruik vooral koffie en chocola. Naarmate het bier opwarmt komt er ook karamel naar voren. Ik proef vooral koffie maar wel met een zekere diepgang en een heerlijk zacht mondgevoel waardoor het ondanks het alcoholpercentage toch doordrinkbaar blijft.

tape7 (574) - FINLAND - MAR 10, 2023UPDATED: MAR 10, 2023 How: can from tulip glass. Canned on: 9/30/22
Head: tan, one finger.
Colour: opaque black.
Aroma: coffee with various nuances, chocolate, praline, subtle vanilla, some alcohol.
Taste: medium to full body, soft carbonation, nuanced coffee upfront, following dark fruits, chocolate, caramel, and so on. Rich taste, but mouthfeel remains a bit shallow for the ABV. Only a bit warming.
Very long warming aftertaste like initial taste.
Nice, but a bit overhyped. Biggest disappointment was body, way too thin for beer like this, considering this was quite fresh can.

ryanhunter_4 (1062) - Strathmore, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 7, 2023UPDATED: JAN 7, 2023 473 ml can poured at home. Pours jet black with a tan head. Smells like chocolate, coffee, black liquorice and malt. Taste is malt forward with some notes of coffee and smoke. Very good and sneaky as it doesn’t taste like a 12% beer.

benazfanboy (91) - Cottonwood, USA - NOV 19, 2022UPDATED: NOV 19, 2022 Pitch black with a tad of carbonation. Roasted malts on the nose. In fact, a massive amount of roasted malt aromas. Carmel with dark fruits like figs, possibly dark cherries. At least to my nose. Roasted coffee also picked up in this brew.. The taste is basically the same as the nose. Chocolate, coffee, come on through. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. There is bitterness on the tail end, but it's not overwhelming, I think. This is so yummy. I'm picking up again.
Beers0mniac (490) - Joensuu, FINLAND - SEP 24, 2022UPDATED: SEP 24, 2022 Pitch black with creamy light brown head which stays long. Aroma of intense chocolate, licorice, roast and some salt. Taste has lots of roast, licorice and coffee. Finishes with hops. Creamy mouthfeel. Full body, average carbonation. Full of roast and coffee. Excellent imperial stout.
