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.

On tap @ Mikkeller & Friends. This is a pretty darn dark one. Near black in color and on the top an initially medium sized but fading dark beige filmy and sidesticking top. It smells quite sweet and inviting. Dark chocolate, dark roasted coffee. There's lots of vanilla and bourbon tones here also. Really nice stuff. It has a strange texture in the mouth. Almost watery, of course it's not but it's a little boozy and thin. Soft and prickling on the carbonation. Lots of coffee in the taste. It's dark vanilla infused, the cream/caramel thing you get in your coffee at 7-11. Boozy but not directly warming. Well, must admit that I had hoped for a bit more, but by all means it's a good dark tasting one. 15.05.2016

On tap at 1000 Beers. Black with medium light brown head. Aroma is really nice coffee, medium body, medium carbonation, and good small-bubble lacing. Taste is big roasted malt, dark chocolate, nice coffee, and dry finish.

Tasting glass draft @ Beerlovers Bar. Black, very creamy deep mocha head. Nose is sweet mocha, low roast, coffee is mellow in roast, faintly bitter chocolate, pralines. Taste is far sweeter than the nose indicates, huge sweet candy in a good way, sweet chocolate, pralines, candy chocolate ice cream, coffee is low, low roast, faintly warming. Creamy thick pralines body, fine carbonation. Very nice. A real treat.

Troche mniej ciala niz pamietam, ciut wiecej alko, wyczuwalne bardziej pralinki, lukrecja. Kawa czad. Klasa ewidentna.

75cl bottle. Pours almost black with a mid-sized most good lasting tan head. Aroma of strong coffee, some red fruits, dark roasted malt. Taste of quite sweet chocolate malt, vanilla, sweets, some bourbon, quite nice!
