Speedway Stout - Horchata from AleSmith Brewing Company

11 months ago

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7

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.

Thorlákur from Brouwerij de HopHemel

11 months ago

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8

Can from Hopduvel.
A: clear dark amber, small, foamy, off-white head.
A: coffee bean, raisin, red apple peel, dried fig, hazelnut, almond.
T: sweetish raisin & fig, bitter coffee bean, nuts, toast.
F: bitter earthy hops, nuts, coffee, dried fruits, some vodka-like alcohol.
P: medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Good, a bit thin for the style, ABV and coffee element (which is quite powerful here); but have an extra point for the attempt at something new.
