This Vietnamese coffee version of Speedway Stout is and continues to be AleSmith's most popular variation of the ever-growing Speedway Stout collection. Since 2012 we have been adding this blend of four Vietnamese coffees, known in Vietnam as cà phê sa đá, to our popular imperial stout. The coffee beans were slowly roasted at low temperatures and then brewed by AleSmith with a traditional phin-style filter that gently percolates water through the ground coffee. The result is an intensely aromatic and bold tasting coffee that complements the notes of chocolate and roast in this massive stout.

Tap at Luppolo Station in Rome. Black color with a tan foam. Nose: green coffee, hidden signs of oxidation, sweet cocoa. Mouth: does not go anywhere, it talks to a good beer which got lost along the way, bummer.

Dark brown. Sweeter than regular speedway, with less chocolate and less roast. Balanced, but pleasant sweetness - less than your average pastry stout, for example. Rich chocolate taste.

On tap at Lajbah, Ljubljana. Pours pitch black, topped with medium sized beige creamy head. Ok lasting. Medium strong roasted coffee with some chocolate and dark cocoa later on. Creamy body. Medium roastiness in the taste, some bitterness. Very roasted coffee-like finish. Dark chocolate. Some alcohol warmth, just a hint of burn perhaps. Pretty easily drinkable for what it packs inside.

Tap (Craftova, Wrocław). Czarne z mala, beżową pianą. Aromat slodki z nutami czekolady, kawy i likieru. W smaku likerowa słodycz skontrowana wytrawna kawą. Pełne w odbiorze, ułożone, zbalansowe, zdecydowanie do długiej degustacji.

Draught @ Cooper's Craft & Kitchen. Opaque dark brown with small foamy tan head, coffee aroma, low carbonation, a bit tart, medium bitter coffree beans taste with molasses/rum flavor, smooth thickish body, long rich finish. Very well covered alcohol content; very fulfilling.
