4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Hadn’t had this in quite awhile. And I don’t know why- this is a great, big beer! Malty, boozy w/ hints of coffee & roast. Almost more like a stout than American Strong. Love this stuff.

3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
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.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
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.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
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.
4.3 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
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.

4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Negro opaco, espuma beige densa y duradera. Aromas a chocolate, bizcocho, y torrefacto. Si se agita se desvelan matices alcohólicos. En boca tiene una progesividad extraordinaria. Comienza con un sabor dulce achocolatado y termina con un amargor que va creciendo en intesidad y que en el regusto se une a un toque alchólico equilibrado. Bien carbonatada, con una densidad media-alta, se bebe muy fácilmente. ¡¡Un pedazo de birrote!!
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Huge tan head on top of dark body. Flavors of chocolate and roasted malt blanket the high ABV. A nice long finish hints at some dry bitterness.
