This barrel-aged blend of Speedway Stout and Beer Geek Vanilla Shake has been aged in premium bourbon barrels with the addition of locally roasted coffee and three varieties of vanilla beans. Each sip transports your taste buds to a world of silky smoothness, where the bold flavors of coffee and vanilla dance harmoniously with the subtle hints of sweet bourbon.

Aftertaste: vanilla, caramel, sweet, chocolate notes, alcohol, a little oxidized, a bit malty in the finish, very nice beer!

US Pint can, bought in Bangkok and shared at Benny’s place in Kuala Lumpur. Poured almost black in colour with a round, frothy, tan head. The aroma is roasty, herbal, light vanilla. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter and sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, liquorice, herbal, coffee, light sweet vanilla, warm alcohol, liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

A lot of vanilla (maybe a bit artificial), some chcocolate, moderately to highly sweet. Taste is along the same lines. Good one.
