16 ounce can from Tavour. 2026 vintage. 14.29% ABV. Jet black pour. Dark brown head settles to and creamy ring. Indulgent aromas of dark roasted malt, chocolate, coconut and almond. First sip brings flavors of dark roast coffee, coconut and vanilla. Deliciously smooth and tasty. Some clinging mouthfeel. Dark chocolate finish.

This version tastes pretty classic Speedway to me. Roast, big coffee, dark chocolate. Bourbon is well integrated. Pours black with good head and lacing. Bittersweet finish, though mostly bitter. Tap at Dominion store.

10 November 2022. At Alesmith's Speedway Grand Prix, San Diego. Shared with the lovely Anke!
A: cloudy black, stable, foamy, dark beige head.
A: toasted coconut, soy, vanilla cream, bourbon, vague pineapple even.
T: sweet pear & pineapple, creamy coconut and vanilla.
F: peppery hops, coconut, wood & warming bourbon alcohol.
P: full body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Intense bourbon and coconut, yet almost covering the coffee too much.
