Aug 26, 2008 22oz bottle. Shared at Coffee District. Pours a inky black with a small tan head. Rich and luxurious head. Nose is incredible. Espresso and dark chocolate, a slight note of soy and roast. Flavor is tons of coffee and bitter chocolate up front. A bit of vanilla in the finish and a roasty hoppiness with a sweet sticky smooth finish. Well balanced, this tastes big but it doesn’t have any alcohol burn its just huge on the palate. A hell of a well crafted impy stout. Very very impressive.

Aug 23, 2008 Jet balck little head. Toasted coffee chocolate aroma layered with vanilla, deep roasted malts with a piney bittering quality. There is some caramel figgy scents dancing with a fruit alcohol infused smell and a peaty earthy smokiness. Decent aroma but the flavor made me step back and say "damn b thats some full flavored brew." A complex and encompassing full palate pleasing with reaching flavor rolls over the tounge and gives hearty complex flavors of a fruity mocha coffee infused with a caramel vanilla peaty earthy smoky piney woodsy bittering brew. Smoked meats, brothy. Tastey. Alcohol present in the warmth and the exhale. Dman tastey beer

Aug 21, 2008 Updated: Aug 25, 2008Ya know it’s gotten where all these imp stouts taste pretty darn close. Roasty - check. Creamy - check. Coffee - check. Is this better than Expedition or Yeti? I dunno. It’s very very good and very drinkable, especially for 12%. Alcohol is only slightly noticeable but not in a hot Avery beers way.

Aug 21, 2008 Black with a rich, bubbly tan head. Nose is strong, rich, high-quality coffee... actually, more like a high-quality coffee shop. Also has some minor milk chocolate and alcohol in there. Flavor has more coffee and chocolate, a little alcohol. Never too bitter, this has a rich body that’s ultra-smooth and ideal for such a coffee beast. Speedway is a little simple and straightforward, but out of a starting value of 4.3, it earns a 4.3: it’s about as good of a simple, coffee-driven IS as I can imagine.

Aug 20, 2008 Updated: Aug 26, 2008Has the color of used motor oil with a large, light brown head with excellent lacing. has a strong aroma of chocolate with notes of coffee and molasses. The flavor is of espresso and chocolate with a sweet start and a bitter finish. The palate is very creamy. Hands down the best stout I’ve ever had and a frontrunner for the best beer I’ve ever had. This stuff is happiness in a bottle. Es la leche de la vida!
