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.

Can picked up from Beer Republic webshop Berkel-Enschot Netherlands had this at home Christmas Day Wednesday 25th December 2024, shared with Baz, listening to ByteFM. Roasted malts, creamy vanilla, chocolate, it's a little bit spicy, some coffee, surprisingly perky, it's a touch thinner than expected, otherwise very good.

Pours black into a tulip. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to nothing. Vanilla and cinnamon aromas. Thick with sweet espresso, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg front to back. Lasting hot espresso finish.

Can at Speedway Tasting. Full body, medium carbonation. High sweetness, medium bitterness, medium warmth, no burn though, easy feeling. Flavour has lots of vanilla, med-high candyish. Both of these things are higher than roast, which is weird. Still med-high coffee and medium dark chocolate. Med-light dried fruits. Very good, but not great, feels too candyish for my liking.
