AleSmith Speedway Stout
Poured this into a big goblet. Deep, deep brown almost black in color with a tiny coffee colored head. Almost no lacing on the glass. First smell reminded me of wine. Upon smelling again there was definate chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. Very sweet smelling. First sip was very sweet tasting. Coffee and chocolate stand out and a little bit of alcohol. As this stout warms up the alcohol becomes very apparent and you know it is 12%! It is medium bodied with a little bit of dancing carbonation on my tongue. Goes down smooth. The high alcohol made it kind of hard to finish, but other than that it was smooth. I really enjoyed this brew and am definately going to pick up a couple more of these to age a little longer.
