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.

Bottle shared at Mechazilla event. Huge coffee coffee flavored nose with dark chocolate, fudge, caramel and berries. Average carbonation with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Some light creaminess on the palate, but not overly creamy. Nice big coffee flavors on the palate with a roasty cacao nib finish that is slightly oily. Some light berry that lingers on the finish. So smooth and easy drinking. Lovely. --- Beer merged from original tick of Speedway Stout (Vietnamese Coffee) on 04 May 2016 at 21:24 - Score: 9
