Brewed by AleSmith Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout

Thanks AgentSteve. Black, coffee, Dark chocolate, roasted malts, caramel, slight dark fruits. Thick & crisp, rich & smooth. A nice complex balanced stout.

On tap at AleSmith Brewery. This is the first batch of Speedway where AleSmith actually blended the coffee instead of Ryan Bros. As a result, this was one simply incredible beer. I couldn’t get enough of it!! It appeared pitch black, and very viscous with a thick fluffy dark tan head. Aroma was full of chocolate, lots of fantastic coffee, toffee, and roasted barley. It was a wonderful taste of coffee with chocolate and background roasted barley. Tremendous balance with a lean towards coffee. This is simply amazing... does it get any better?! Much better than the previous blend.

200th rating! Big thanks to Kegbear for this one. Pours jet black with thin dark tan head that leaves thin ring around edges of my snifter. Aroma coffee, dark chocolate, molasses and roasted malt. Flavor is huge with roasted malt and coffee. Notes of caramel, molasses, and dark chocolate help mellow the coffee flavors. Mouthfeel is clean and crisp. Alcohol tingles on tonge. A fine imperial stout but just not as good as Dark Lord or Expidition Stout.

love this brew. Very fruity aroma. Nice thick head and serious lacing. Flavor is heavy coffee, fruit, dark chocolate. Mouthfeel is not as thick as Dark Lord but still nice. Great coffee aftertaste - bitter. Super.

very dark rich flavor. Coffee chocolate dark fruit Heaven. Best brew I have tried. Strong % but not harsh. Excellent

400th rating! Have been saving this one. Bottle thanks to BOLTZ7555, THANKS AGAIN JASON!! Aroma of coffee, chocolate, dark dried fruits, molasses, and port. Just fantastic! Pitch black with very small brown head that left no lace. Flavor is nice bitter chocolate and espresso. Palate is full bodied and oily flat. A medium bitter finish. Just a fantastic impy. Love the aroma the flavor and the feel. Thanks again Jason for hooking me up with one of the last of my fundamental beers. Just a great brew from beginning to end but the head was a bit lacking but still gorgeous. Really lived up to its score, bravo.

750ml bottle. Poured jet black with a dark tan head. Big coffee aroma, lots of malty goodness. Now this is blck gold, one of the few reasons I stay in So. Cal, damn we are lucky to live here sometimes.

I thought, seeing as Tropical Storm (Hurricane) Eduardo is hitting Houston tomorrow, I might be washed out to sea, and it would be a shame not to enjoy some really outstanding and rare beers tonight... First off is a beer that I have wanted for years... Pours a jet black midnight colour, dark as the night when you were a kid sneaking out at 2am....Lacing is really good, spots and dots, lower than expected head, but for 12% good... light alcohol, fresh coffee beans, chocolate from a century old swiss chocolate shop.... wonderful in the mouth, oily and chewy- smooth as silk but bold like a new magnum 500 sharpie ... I don’t get it, the points (score) doesn’t seem to match up on how much I am loving this beer, its not the most wow’ing beer i have had, but its just fuckin good!.. ’shit yeah, man!’ ..’i am the walrus’..’are you a Lebowski achiever’ ... I really like this beer, fuck that stuffed animal you hug at night,i want to spoon this beer when I go to bed...
