Old Engine Oil (Harviestoun Brewery Ltd.)

I knew I had to drink this beer the second I read its name! There's just something paradoxically appealing about it.

Appearance-wise this beer lived up to its name - pouring a black-as-midnight body with a foamy brown head. Roasty aromas of coffee can be found but I didn't find the smell to be particularly potent. Tastes of chocolate, coffee, and malty caramel strike with a hoptastic bitter aftertaste that rounds out the beer perfectly. The beer is perfectly thick and creamy with a minor carbonation edge. The beer is highly drinkable and could easily be consumed in multiples. Don't miss this one, Old Engine Oil easily among the finest English Porters on the market!
