Huge 4 finger leathery head that fades to a finger leaving behind really nice lacing very sticky.S &#8211; Nose is very earthy, nutty and roasted. Coffee is there but it\u2019s dominated by a very earthy almost dirt like nose with some oak.<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Wow. I have no idea how to place this. Super acidic coffee bean texture, lots of muddy earthy and nutty notes with a delicate floral finish. This is simply about the coffee taste. Beyond that, milk chocolate, almonds and some cherries. Very rich and decadent and almost delicate like a mudslide meets shot of espresso. I can\u2019t really describe it but very tasty.<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Heavy body although a thin and oily finish. Very delicate and sort of remarkable. Leaves a nutty coffee taste around for a long time after drinking.<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; This is a great coffee stout. Probably one of the best coffee stouts I\u2019ve ever had. Is it just Speedway (which has a great base beer) or is it the &#8220;shitty&#8221; beans they used? I honestly don\u2019t know but wow. Worth seeking out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; padding: 20px 10px 0px 0px; line-height: 1.5;\"><a title=\"View 'Speedway Stout - Kopi Luwak' on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/8483505084\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block;
