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.

Older notes from a Beer52 package: enjoyed it - really dark bour with a decent head. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, a hint of toffee and toasted malt. Similar for the taste. Not very carbonated which made it easy to drink.

Can online from Ocado. Pours jet black with a large thick creamy beige head. Faint aromas of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts and liquorice. Taste has big notes of roasted malts, milk chocolate, coffee and some sweet brown sugar. This is a lot sweeter than i was expecting but still has a nice balance between the sweet and roasty notes. Thin to medium body, very low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. it’s pretty good but i was still expecting something a bit extra given the hype around this beer.

Auf der Flasche als Stout, hier als Porter aufgeführt. Wohl etwas in der Mitte. Sehr kräftig, bittere Röstaromen. Toll, aber keine leichte Kost.

330 ml can. My how the times have changed. Their putting this in a can. Nearly opaque black brown color. Dense foamy tan head. Roasted malt aroma hints at charred wood and campfire smoke. Flavor follows nose. Perhaps some smoky peat and tangy funk as well. Worcestershire sauce and dark chocolate. An iconic and tasty Porter.

330ml bottle. Black, small tan head, modest retention. Aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is, light roast, coffee beans, dark chocolate, smoky, dry bitter finish. Its not overly sweet but there is just enough to balance. Moderate smooth body and soft carbonation. Lovely moreish quality to this. Good stuff.

Fles gedeelt door Roelzie1986, het is een pikzwart bier met een beige schuim. Het heeft een gebrande moutige geur en koffie achtige geur. De smaak is gebrande mout, zoethout en chocolade.
