Non-Alcoholic Speedway

Tap to rate

Dark chocolate, espresso and roasted malts come through in this non-alcoholic take on Speedway Stout, which the brewery says carries the same bold and complex flavor as the original in a full-bodied brew. It stays under 0.5% ABV, is brewed year-round in 12 oz six-packs, and is served best at 50 to 55°F.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Non-Alcoholic Speedway

◎ Appearance

Deep brown-black color with an opaque body characteristic of a traditional stout. A dense, creamy tan head forms on the pour and persists well, leaving fine lacing down the glass. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the full mouthfeel despite the minimal alcohol content.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bold roasted malt character and espresso notes, followed by layers of dark chocolate and cocoa powder. A subtle earthiness underlies the primary aromas, while the low alcohol remains completely unobtrusive. The overall impression is rich and inviting without any sharp or thin qualities.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced chocolate and coffee flavors, supported by a full-bodied structure that belies the low ABV. Roasted grain complexity develops through the mid-palate, with a smooth, malty backbone. Bitterness arrives moderate and well-balanced at 40 IBU, complementing the sweetness without dominating or creating harshness.

Serve at 10–14°C

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
