Almost honey like sweetness in the Aroma. Then roasted malts. Feels heavy. Flavor is lots of roasted malts with a little bit of dry malty sweetness. Aftertaste last forener. Very clean, no bitter dark caramel. Bourbon in think from the barrel, just after tiny bit of a pastry note, which works, because it is so tempereret. Great imp stout. Holds it's ABV impressively

Dark brown. No head. The aroma has a bit of cinnamon, the palate has a solid coffee base, with a shot of chocolate. Good body. Solid work, that bit of churro-level cinnamon vanilla sugar is tasty, coffee more restrained than many speedways, and overall it's balanced.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 10/16/2024). Black with small tan head. Cinnamon forward, mild bourbon, feint coffee and vanilla, a touch boozy. Medium body. Decent, but could use a touch more body and a tad less cinnamon.

Can. Pours inky black, medium beige head, great lacing. Aroma is rich espresso, mocha, coconut. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Speedway remains one of the best no BA impys out there.

Golden colour, medium-sized white head and lace. Crisp, grassy aroma. Light-bodied. Grassy, some citrus, clean, hoppy. Good pils but no need to export them over the big ocean.
