Alesmith Speedway Stout

This one was super dark, very thick, not surprising at 12% abv. I loved it (figures), but I took it a little too fast and it made my stomach a little upset. It was totally worth it though, this is one of the best Russian imperial stouts I've had, with my favourite being Mission Brewing's one.
I usually stray from Russian Imperials in summer. Of the ones i've had i'd rank Parabola from Firestone Walker and 3 Floyds barrel aged vanilla bean dark Lord as my top two vote getters.
