Harviestoun Old Engine Oil (Bottle)

This beer is dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is a bit of dark chocolate. Flavor is dark chocolate and roasted malts. Long lasting aftertaste. Very nice beer.

Almost 700 humans have rated this. I think all we need to know now is that its a damn good English beer that at least everyone should try once. (And then spend lots of money to have it aged in a barrel!)

This dark brown ale poured with a modest fluffy tan head and a rich chocolate malt aroma. The flavor, too, is very rich with a smoked malt base,and a bitter chocolate finish.

Dark, virtually opaque black, with a creamy coffee coloured foam. Liqueur chocolate prominent in the aroma, with a touch of alcohol coming through .On tasting it starts quite mild, but it builds up soon after with a long lasting bitterness that carries on well into the aftertaste. Unfortunately the body is just a little too weak to hold up to all this, with the flavours unsupported. A worthy drop though.

Dark brown, roasted malts, coffee, medicine, dry, finishes slightly sour. kinda thin. The flavor and finish didn’t live up to the appearance. Super cool name!!

Bottle shared by Fidel, pours almost black with a thin tan head. The nose and the flavor are both quite roasted malt, and a bit medicine like. The finish is nice and smokey dry, but overall just O.K. As it warms, it goes a bit sour. Minus a tenth.

This is my first "Old Ale." Had on tap at the Bier Garden as the "Stout of the Week." Pours dark brown with a nice head that quickly dissipated with little lacing. Definitely roasted coffee and chocolate malts. Pretty good beer.

11.2oz. bottle: This one pours an opaque, dark brown color. There was a small tan head on it that dropped off quickly. Very little lacing. Some chocolate, coffee and roastiness to the nose. The taste is good. It borders on a full body. Taste is of chocolate malt, some coffee, dark fruits. A hint of bitterness in the finish. Very Nice!
