Can at home shared with Laura. Opaque black color, full sized dense dark brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, soft roasty, cocoa powder, sweetish vanilla and slightly bitter. A slight tea influence perhaps? Don't know but overall it's decent.

Almost black colour, moderate sized creamy brown head; aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, dairy milk, pecan, vanilla, some cinnamon, dried dark berries and slight ash notes; taste has similar notes to the aroma with some prune and raisins; amazing beer! Thanks so much for sharing, Kapusil!

0.44l can. Black body with a brown head. Sweet aroma with notes of chocolate, pecan, lactose, raisins and a hint of coffee. Taste of chocolate, caramel, lactose, plums, raisins and a bit of coffee. Bold, sweet RIS. Great one.
gave a cheers!

Can from Beer Republic. Hazy black, small, stable, beige head. Aroma of coffee cream, mocha, rice pudding, cookie dough, cinnamon, vanilla, coffee liqueur. Taste has sweet cream, vanilla & milk chocolate, softly bitter mocha and some spices in a nutty, bit toasty malt body. Herbal hops in the finish, lots of cream and coffee lingering but also a slightly chemical spicy bitterness; warming coffee liqueur-like alcohol. Medium to full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Tad too much milk sugar and there's just something off, so probably the 'least good' of the Speedways.

Thanks fonefan! Black colour, minor head. Aroma is coffee, some mild vanilla and dried fruits and some cinnamon. Flavour is coffee, some liquorice, mild alcohol sweetness with some vanilla and a bit cinnamon and dry wooden tones. Alcohol gives a slight kick to it.

Can from Andover Classic Wines. Opaque dark brown with ring of head, light viscosity, trace lacing. Aroma is mild cinnamon, corn chip. Taste is cinnamon, lactose, not getting coffee. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Hard to believe this series is supposed to be based on coffee stout. No coffee. How the mighty have fallen...

16 oz can shared by tfontana, thank you Tom. Aroma is soft roast and cocoa. Flavor follows with a very mild pepper. No pepper heat at all. Body is still thin for what Speedway used to be. Lacking in any real character.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Black, minimal head. Aroma of cinnamon and vanilla. Artificially sweet with surprisingly slender body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Some coffee and vanilla, lots of cinnamon. Inky finish with aggressive artificial sweetness. Another beer ruined by lactose and generic pastry stout additives.

Psychic black , dark brown head. Looks Mean.
Fairy mild or weak aroma. Roasted malts coffee and something i dont know what is, resembles chili and mild tonika Beans.
Flavor is dusty, roasted malty, quite a lot of strong filter coffee, end is coffee bitter. Also an undefined flavor now resembling white rum or other high end white booze.
