Have always loved porters and stouts. In recent years I have grown to really enjoy European and American lagers.

16 oz can shared by tfontana, thank you Tom. The aroma has soft bread and honey. Weak non-descriptive fruit. Soft finish without a bitterness. Clean.

16 oz can shared by Clarkvv. 2024 vintage. Aroma is mild coffee, weak chocolate. Ale Smith forgot how to brew stout? Terribly thin. Not enough mall. Where in the hell is the bourbon? Just a hint of bourbon in the finish. Damn, what a disappointment!

16 oz can shared by Clarkvv. 2024 vintage. Aroma is moderate cinnamon. Maybe some coffee? Gosh damn, the brewers say it is “hint” of cinnamon. No. It is a lot of cinnamon with a sugar finish. Where is the barrel?? I am looking for it. Can’t find it.

16 oz can shared by Clarkvv. Aroma is weak coffee. It’s crazy when I can’t find coconut in a German chocolate cake inspired beer. Where is the coconut? Maybe it has a little more body than the other ones that we had today. Gosh, how far the series has fallen!

16 oz can. Aroma of lemon, herb, soft white bread. Body is soft with a nice amount of lemon and herb. Soft bitterness with a fresh citrus quality. Good!

16 oz can shared by Clarkvv. Aroma is soft chicory wood. Nothing else. And the flavor. I have a hard time even funny coffee. And yet again, another thin body. I was so excited for the Speedway tasting, it has gone horribly awry. WTF??

16 oz can shared by Clarkvv. Aroma is bourbon and nothing more. Can’t find peanut butter any place not in the aroma or flavor. The body is really thin. No texture at all. With a short bourbon finish. What the hell happened to this series???

16 oz can. Aroma, soft, coffee with mild peanut butter. Thankfully, the flavor is a lot better than these stupid Grand Prix versions. Coffee, peanut, chocolate. Way fuller body than the last three Grand Prix crap.

16 oz can shared by tfontana, thank you Tom. The aroma is marzipan. The flavor is cherry, almond, old nuts. Do you like to drink cookie batter? Because this is nothing but marzipan. Damn the worse Speedway ever!

16 oz can shared by tfontana, thank you Tom. Aroma has soft maple, light coffee. The flavor falls flat. Weak all around. Body is thin and not smooth. Gosh, this is NOT the Speedway I remember from years ago.
