Tasted at Speedway Grand Prix 2014. Standard black pour, with a small tan head. Chocolate, lots of cherry flavor, roast, burnt coffee, vanilla, and sugar. Somewhat astringent. Good, but it confused me, what do cherries have to do with red velvet? Anyway, it’s alright.

Theydon_Bois (13601) - Tourist Town (West), Berkshire, ENGLAND - NOV 25, 2014
Keg at the brewery during the 2014 Speedway Grand Prix, 14/11/14. Black with a tan swirl. Nose is rich roast, chocolate, brown sugar, light spice, toffee fudge. Taste comprises chocolate cake, mineral notes, dark toffee, hint of red berry. Medium + body, fine carbonation, light alcohol trace in the close. Decent enough Speedway variant, but another that fails to topple the base beer for me.

GT2 (9410) - Oceanside, California, USA - NOV 16, 2014
[ Keg ][ 4oz ][ AleSmith ][ $2.50 ][ Taster ][ 11.15.14 ]
>> Ink pour with yellow ring of bubbles. Sugary sweet nose with fumey alcohol. Taste is boozy, chalky, sweet cherry, chocolate cake, spicy alcohol, booze. Some vanilla extract flavors. Seemed to be a last minute idea that didn’t integrate well.

On tap at the brewery. Dark brown pour with a light brown head. Roasted malt aromas. Pronounced vanilla and cherry notes work well with the dark roasted malt and expresso notes.
