Can. Black beer with a brown head. Chocolate and vanilla aroma with caramel and light nuttiness. Vanilla and chocolate flavor with caramel and nuttiness. Medium-plus bodied. Vanilla and chocolate linger with caramel, nuttiness, and light coffee.

pours nearly black with a smooth brown head. does seem a tiny bit watery but not at all watery really, just less thick that I had expected for a 12% heavy stout 7/10
Aroma has artificial vanilla, cake frosting, fainter toasted nuts, perfumey cocoa note, all in a base of roasted malts. Too artificial for my taste 7/10
flavor is more potent, the roasted malts can be tasted and the toasted nuts gets a lot more prominent, one of the most direct nutty imp stouts i have tasted, balanced by some hardcore roasted malty imp stoutiness with a good dose of coffee too. Although interesting it still has this cake frosting vanilla artificial note that sort of drags it down a lot. Tastes like a very macro beery production. 7.5/10
palate is a bit thin 5/10
overall a drinkable and very interesting imp stout, but far from as good as the normal speedway stout if brewed in the states (i prefer that to the european version). 7.5 / 10

Draught at Khyber: pours black with beige head. Aroma is walnut, vanilla, loads of chocolate. Taste is pretty sweet, rather chocolatey, loads of vanilla. Good. Tastes like rocky road.
