We traditionally brew gallons of Vietnamese Coffee with a phin-style filter that gently percolates water through ground coffee. The result is a chocolatey and bold-tasting coffee that perfectly compliments the notes of oak, vanilla, and bourbon barrel in this massive barrel-aged stout, a true AleSmith legend.

Bottle shared at Dangerous Bottleshare 10th Anniversary. Thanks to Aaron for bringing this! Been looking forward to this like a child looks forward to unwrapping the big hard christmas present under the good ol tree. Ya know. Pours pitch black with a medium brown head. Aromas of coffee, vanilla, dark fruits, coconut, bourbon, cinnamon, roast, dark and light chocolate. Taste is subtle green fruity coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, subtle coconut, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, dates, molasses, roast, light licorice, oak, dry wood. God damn, this is good! Best of the night.

Bottle, many thanks anstei! Black color with beige head. Aroma is coffee, bourbon, super intense, but also balanced. Taste is bourbon, coffee, chocolate. Super smooth mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation. Hard to improve on this one, it's worth all the praise!

Bottle. Aroma is indeed bourbon barrel aged Vietnamese Speedway. Slightly burnt, but also super balanced, with great intensity and flavours. An outstanding beer which deserves all the praise. Very close to perfection.
