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.

On tap at Samo pivo [Serbian: Only Beer], Belgrade. I guess it's this version, it was definitely 6%. Served very chilled. Shared with lovely Anja. Black, small tan head. Roasty aroma, dark malts, light coffee. Beautiful taste develops with notes of dry fruits, roasty to burnt, light caramel and light coffee. Medium body, moderate to high carbonation, moderate lasting, roasty finish. Not as smooth maybe. Nice one, although not spectacular. I wish it was slightly warmer, maybe I'd rate the aromas better.

Bottle @Bir&Fud Bottega (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma cappuccino leggera. Al naso sentori di cioccolato fondente, leggera liquirizia, vaniglia, erbaceo. In bocca è molto complessa a dispetto della gradazione alcolica, attacco dolce di cioccolata, con lieve acidità da tostato, finale con leggera liquirizia e amaro. Corpo medio, carbonazione leggera. Gran bella birra.
