Harviestoun Old Engine Oil (Bottle)

Thanks to rcasta. Bottle: Think heavy and oily. Porter, stout and ale all together. Well balanced and nicely crafted. esta cerveza si esta cargada

Bottle picked up at Del Cerro Liquor. Slick deep ruby/back color upon pouring. No head to speak of. Aroma is fairly sweet with some interesting fruitiness. Some roasted maltiness as well. Roasted maltiness and some coffee bitterness up front. Finish is of bitter, burnt maltiness.

Opaque thick looking pour with frothy tab head that dissipates quick. Smells of chocolate, malt, licorice, coffee. Very balanced taste, but expected it to be heavier. Kind pd where guiness meets a craft. Medium to thin mouthfeel with clean finish and some drying hop. Roasty. Little sweet. Have had worse. Great drinkability. Not had too many old ales but seems stouty to me. @ $4 an 11.2 oz this will be first and last taste of this one but glad I tried.

Black pour with brown head. Nose is full of dark roast. Roasty chocolate in the flavor. Medium chewy body with a bitter chocolate finish. Decent beer just not worth the $4 pricetag.

Crushed with Jakebra. Full-bodied my ass. Roasty and bitter nose. Yes, it smells bitter. Some dark chocolate, but let down by the huge description, and the nothing to follow it up.

Bottle from Lithy. Almost black and opague. Dark chocolate, roast, caramel and apple syrup in the aroma and flavor. Hint of licorice. Creamy and velvety. Sweet, delicious but not too complex.

pours out a black color with a small tan head. aroma was roasted malt, caramel, and a slight bitterness. flavor was very similar, though i detected what tasted like smoked malt and was kind of unpleasant.

Bottle. Pours a dark brune body with a tan head. Chocolate sweet and malty caramel with a light coffee bitterness. Roast y with notes of dark fruit. Licorice. Good brew.
