Speedway Stout by Alesmith Brewing in California is a HUGE Imperial Stout weighing in at 12% ABV! Its pitch-black appearance has become the hallmark of this modern-day classic.  Chocolate and roasted malts dominate the flavor, supported by notes of dark fruit, toffee, and caramel.  A healthy dose of locally-roasted coffee added to each batch brings out the beer’s dark chocolate flavors and enhances its drinkability.  Despite its intensity, Speedway Stout’s fine carbonation and creamy mouthfeel make it very smooth and surprisingly easy to drink.  This beer ages well. 

Gold in the 2014 San Diego International Beer Competition.

Serving Suggestion

Roasted meat, chocolate and vanilla desserts, salty blue cheeses, nutty cheeses.
