Legend has it that Old Engine Oil was dedicated to our head brewer’s love of classic cars. But it’s the thick, dark, chocolatey viscosity that reveals the real inspiration behind the name.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Very dark clear brown with an off-white head. Mildly gritty stout, and whilst not quite feeling that stated is flavoursome and relatively smooth. Has a good associated aroma too.

Classic english porter. Light and sharp and lager-like crispness. Some bitterness that gives it this. Bierkonig ams
