Black with a somewhat fizzy dark tan head. Molasses, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, earthy. Finish has some sweet alcohol and roasted notes. Much thinner body than expected- I’d say medium to medium-thin. This does not live up to the Speedway Stout name.
(This is the entry I chose for my rating of the 2025 edition. My can also says 13.46% abv)
Very deep dark malt flavour. Lots of dark chocolate and some black coffee. Very boozy and warming. Also a savoury element.
Smooth, sweetish and roasty with some coffee, vanilla, syrup and toffee, hints of buttery bourbon. Intense and sweetish.
