My wife made cookies even after my dessert beer, so I better offset them with coffee right?

#alesmith Speedway Stout, the OG!

Deep roast malts rich and complex with chocolate, coffee, toffee, and dark fruity notes.

Now where are those snickerdoodles?

Made it through Wednesday and I’m already yearning for another long Vampire Weekend. Will have to make due, drinking Horchata…

Milky mouth feel, coffee, cinnamon and vanilla, smooth bodied with a light bitter finish.

A quieter workday but no shortage of things to do. Breaking for a cup of tea…impossible.

After work the! #aleSmith Speedway #Stout Horchata Edition

Lots of chocolate and cinnamon, vanilla and coffee notes with a sweet and lightly bitter finish.

Now where are the cakes?

I’m going riding on the Speedway again, in an #aleSmith #stout mode!

Heard it last night, woke up with it in my head, now it’s in (and out) of my glass! Might’ve poured a bit hard…

#aleSmith Horchata Speedway #stout

Curiously flat nose, the body is big on cinnamon and vanilla with a slight bitter coffee finish. My wife likes it more than I do 😀

In the office for work meetings, the dynamic is so different, everyone on the hunt for coffee. Proper caffeination to make it through the day.

I don’t drink Coffee. But I do drink coffee #stout after work.

#aleSmith Speedway New Orleans Cafe

Nutty, coffee, chocolate body, a hint of licorice and slight bitter finish

Didn’t get any unusual group texts today on Signal…guess I don’t run with the right crowd.

I will, however, run towards the Speedway when it’s from #aleSmith and a #stout

Dark roasted malt with coffee and a complex mix of chocolate, caramel, and dark fruits in a rich bodied stout.

Kid ran a 10K this morning - I spectated - it was 16F and could’ve used some hot chocolate! ☕️

We’ll settle for cold German Chocolate Cake edition #aleSmith Speedway Stout

Cocoa and nutty, rich semi-sweet chocolate and coffee notes, let it warm for hints of coconut.

Another #alesmith special, it’s Speedway Grand Prix MMXXIV Rocky Road Edition!

Never done NYE in New Orleans, so we’ll bring the Big Easy to us.

#aleSmith New Orleans Café Speedway Stout with coffee and chicory

Nutty coffee lead with a chocolate bitter finish. My wife says her Dad loved the chicory coffee at White Castle back in the day!

It’s 40 degrees and foggy in MN on 12/28, and we’re out for a WALK in the fallen leaves. 🍁 I know there’s some maple in there…

And also in #aleSmith Speedway Grand Prix MMXXIV Maple Bar Edition

Coffee and maple with a slight burnt note, syrupy chocolate finish that ends a bit flat. Not the best try at a maple #stout

Let the festivities begin! Sharing is caring with an #aleSmith Speedway Grand Prix MMXXIV Toasted Coconut Vietnamese Coffee edition #stout

Had high hopes but ultimately this was more chocolate and caramel than coconut and coffee. Very drinkable but not matching the label.

Christmas Eve Eve and I finally found it - #aleSmith Barrel-Aged Speedway Stout: Coffee Cake edition!

Beautifully barrel aged, coffee, chocolate, oak, and vanilla with a hint of cinnamon makes for a rich full bodied treat!

Wrapping gifts and pondering Christmas Day breakfast. We bought raspberries - and say, what have we here?

#aleSmith Speedway Grand Prix MMXXIV Chocolate Raspberry Edition #stout

Lots of raspberry at first with a tart/bitter note. Body is light chocolate but the coffee is overwhelmed by the jamminess. Tart finish really lasts.

Less of a tart punch in the face than #vennBrewing Oppulescence Sexxxy Delicious if you’ve had that one.

A day of gathering and celebration ended with bad news from a friend.

Like life, #alesmith Speedway Stout, is a complex construct

Dark sugar, lots of coffee, toffee and caramel notes in a smooth rich body

Hey hey it’s #stouturday, I have totally lost track of time this week with three days off in-a-row!

So many leftovers I’m just hankering for dessert. Found this #aleSmith German Chocolate Cake Speedway Stout

Rich with chocolate, very sweet with nutty notes and a toasty sharp finish. Not picking up the coconut much. #letItWarm #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #stout #craftBeer @beersofmastodon

Wake me when it’s over, OK? If I _have_ to stay awake I may as well enjoy it…

#aleSmith Speedway Stout has the complexity to keep you on your toes.

Roasty malts, chocolate, coffee, caramel/toffee and dark sugar as it warms.
