Pint can pours with a clear brown mahogany copper hued body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up woodiness and booze to start and then reveals plum like fruity esters that might also be part of the rum character. The taste is straight up oak like woodiness bleeding into plum to raisin and then sweeter boozier rum like sherry and brown sugar character. The woodiness and booze are the defining notes but this does round out into a really nice sipper. Yes.

16oz can from Alesmith. Nose is oak, vanilla caramels, toffee, biscuits, and a hint of bourbon. Very dark, obscure except on the edges, hazy brown with a medium tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet with a smoothness I find in really expensive wheated or rye whiskey.

The toasted coconut is not a net gain on the regular Speedway. Plenty of coffee still, some dark chocolate, roast. Pours black and oily with mocha head. Bitter end with some caramel. Oilier than your typical Speedway. Can.

16 oz. can, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is rich, with tons of blackberry puree, gentle vanilla, some coffee, and medium roast. Flavour marries the blackberry very well with the coffee and roast, with some vanilla overtones and attenuated out dark sugars. The berries aren’t too dominating, and the solid malt base still holds everything together. Very good.

Pint can pours with a deep dark black colored body that has deep red mahogany hues and supports a dark tan head of foam. The aroma offers up chocolate malts to dark chocolate, a bit of marshmallow and then wide thin note of nuttiness. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of chocolate malts, dark roasted coffee flowing into a sweeter pool of malty goodness to midway. Toward the finish the dark chocolate ramps up with only murmurs of the nuttiness in tow. Fairly rich sipper.
