We traditionally brew gallons of Vietnamese Coffee with a phin-style filter that gently percolates water through ground coffee. The result is a chocolatey and bold-tasting coffee that perfectly compliments the notes of oak, vanilla, and bourbon barrel in this massive barrel-aged stout, a true AleSmith legend.

75cl Bottle, massive thanks for sharing Kermis! Black colour, beige head. Aroma of perfect barrel ageing, soft bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, smooth coffee well-integrated in the beer, very fruity, roast, fudge. Flavour is sweet, lovely deep roast, soft smooth coffee, oak, vanilla, subtle bourbon, chocolate, fudge, bitter finish. Full bodied, slick. Are you paying attention green apple-loving Dutch brewers? This is how you barrel age a beer.

Bottle shared at home, kind courtesy of Maakun. Black with thin light tan head. Loads of deep roasted chocolate malts, coconut, vanilla, licorice, tiramisu, brownies, surprisingly little coffee at first. Later some pronounced coffee berries and hazlenutty coffee notes rise up. Velvety smooth speedway style supple full body, amazing. Massive sweet and mild bitterness. Soft carbonation. Great mouthfeel, lovely aromas. Very nice!! --- Beer merged from original tick of Speedway Stout - Vietnamese Coffee Barrel Aged on 26 Dec 2017 at 11:14 - Score: 9. Original review text: 4.5

Bottle shared. Black with light brown head. Huge dark chocolate, sweet vanilla bourbon, roast, sweet coffee, lots of toffee, fudge, brownies, some coconut, some cinnamon and other spices, soft alcohol. Quite sweet and under medium bodied. Almost full bodied with soft carbonation but it's not super thick which makes it huge drinkeable. Very very nice beer.
