Harviestoun Old Engine Oil (Bottle)

Bottle. Pours opaque black with a very thin, whispy tan head. Aroma is roasty, coffee, bittersweet cocoa. Taste is roasty, coffee and very dark chocolate, balanced by a hop dryness, with hints of sweetness and smoke underneath. Finish is roasty, with a very slight, lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, maybe a little bit more watery than expected, moderate to low carbonation.

wow this is one dark beer, pours really black just like the name says. The smell is strong with roasted coffee bean smell. Flavor is very smooth, a lot of malts chocolate and coffee flavor is dominant very very good ale.

Jet black with no head, no lacing, and little carbonation. Thick and viscous. "Old Engine Oil" indeed. That’s just what it looks like. Nose of raisins and coffee. Taste of dark chocolate, raisins, plumbs, smoke and burned coffee. Pleasantly bitter coffee-like finish.

bottle, black beer with small head, taste smoked and a bit sweet. Nice beer

<By Kraft> If Nestle made 10w40 that would about sum up old engine oil. </> Pours a dark black. No head. Thin body. Aroma of chocolate and other sweet maltiness.

Bouteille brune de 33 cl. Arômes de cacao amer et de céréales. Robe noire opaque, peu effervescente. Goût de chocolat avec une légère présence d’alcool. Arrière-goût légérement amer de cacao et de houblon.

One of my favourites and among the first special beers that made me a beer enthusiast. Black with brown head. Smoky tar, medium mouth feel. reminded me of a Tervaleijona -candy of my childhood.. I think it still exists..

Black with a medium sized brown head. Restrained roasted dry aroma. Smokey dry roasted flavour, chocolate at finsh, ends too quickly though. Nice full body. Pretty good.
