Speedway Stout: Toasted Coconut Vietnamese Coffee Edition

◎ Appearance

Deep garnet-black with a dense, tan foam that clings persistently to the glass walls. The body is opaque and viscous, with minimal light transmission typical of the style. Carbonation is moderate, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles that support the head's longevity.

◌ Aroma

Vietnamese coffee dominates the nose, lending an earthy roast character layered with dark chocolate and toasted coconut notes. The coconut rounds out the sharper roasted edges, creating a warm, slightly sweet aromatic profile. Subtle dark fruit undertones and a hint of alcohol warmth complete the complex bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth, full-bodied coffee and chocolate malt that coat the mouth. Toasted coconut weaves through mid-palate, adding sweetness and a subtle vanilla-like richness that balances the 70 IBU bitterness. The 12% ABV is well-integrated, warming without harshness, and the roast character persists through to the finish.

◑ Finish

A long, satisfying finish lingers with roasted grain, coffee, and a faint dark fruit fade. The aftertaste remains dry yet slightly sweet, with no harsh astringency.
