65 cl bottle from Vinmonopolet Vika. Pours a dark brown almost black with a huge brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, sweet dark fruit and coffee. Flavour of wood and coffee with notes of dark chocolate and some dark fruits. Medium carbonation, low bitterness, oily/sticky mouthfeel, full bodied. Complex and interesting beer.

Big head, nice color. Roasted coffee, mocha, vanilla, earth, anise, very mild oak. Medium finish not too heavy, light hops. Nice.

Bottle. Pours a deep black color with a lacing tan head. Strong, brown sugar aroma withn some dark chocolate in the background. Strong licorice flavor with a hint of brown sugar. Complex finish with the alcohol lingering.

Bottle 0.65l at Gallows Bird, Espoo. Colour is black with small brownish white head. Aromas and flavours: Oil, smoke, licorice, wood and roasted malts.

Pours from bottle black with an inch of khaki foam. Not a long on the nose. Definitely feels like motor on the tongue. Lots of roasted malt ant licorice. Finish lingers a bit. Solid for style.

Pours a super thick dark brown almost black with a big fluffy brown head. Lots of big toasted malt on the nose, sweet dark fruit, molasses, coffee and oak. The toasted malt and oak are really strong in the taste, dark bitter chocolate, dark coffee, and some dark fruit. Full bodied, very thick and viscous. Quite a good beer, but I think I prefer older viscosity.

Pours pitch black with brown head. Tight bubbles, little carbonation. Smells like coffee, chocolate, oak, and cigar ash. Full body coats your palate and lingers.

Smell of coffee and cocoa. Black with high brown head. Aroma of ash, coffee, cocoa, tar. Bitter. Viscous, living up to the name. Barbed. Awesome attitude. Comparison between Harviestoun Old Engine Oil and this: OEO is oily and droopy, this one is ashy and barbed.

650 ml bottle. Bottled 8/7/12. Kaisla, Helsinki, Finland.
Pitch black colour with a small tan head. The aroma is very strong roasted malt, sweet caramel, dark bread, ash, coffee, soy sauce, mild salt and mild dark chocolate. I would call the aroma complex. The flavour is at least as strong. Roasted malt, grassy bitter hops, ash, coffee bitterness, salt and mild dark chocolate. Alcohol is very well hidden. I have a bomber in front of me. That’ll be a challenge. It’s warming... like hell. But the flavour is very enjoyable and lingering. It’s absolutely great brew but also very nice beer to share. Wow! What a beer.

Aroma of dark fruit and some toffee. Full bodied and silk texture and tastes of dark fruit also and some toffee with hint if licorice and finish of oak with a little bitterness ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
