We brewed this after feedback from US drinkers suggested the ABV of our original Old Engine Oil (6%) was too low for their tastes. So we created this intensely flavoured but incredibly smooth 9% brew especially for them.

Bottle. Darkest brown color with beige head. Aroma is toffee, some sugar, caramel, cream, touch of chocolate. Taste is fudge, strawberries, cream, rather sweet. Very oily mouthfeel. Great beer, albeit a bit sweet, but it?s very harmonious.

Jakze zbudowane jest to Ale. Smolisto czarne, wyglada jak zuzyty olej silnikowy:) czarne oliwki i lukrecja w smaku, slodowe i zlozone, lekko alkoholowe, ale to szlachetne rozgrzewajace i cieple wrazenia. Piana mogla by byc nieco trwalsza i wieksza. Bardzo dobrze zbudowane piwo. W ustach pozostawia lepkosc rozgrzewajaco gorzkawa koncowke. Klasa

0,33l bottle at home. BB 03/2017. almost black color, small dark coffee-colored head. smells of spices, licorice, some charcoal, bitter chocolate, earthy, light sweetness, light dark fruity notes. good smell. full body, light carbonation, nice creamy mouthfeel, tastes earthy, spices, licorice, tastes a bit light struck, light medical, lightly sweet, has a stinging unpleasant bitterness, especially towards the finish, that does not work for me, also a bit salty, some alcohol. finishes rather bitter / salty with notes of licorice, earthy notes and spices. I have great memories of the regular version, but I did not like this one, rather unpleasant finish, rather alcoholic and also taste is not overly special. was expecting a lot more.

Not as mellow as the regular, but still very soft thanks to the oodles of oats. Toasty bitterness, a bit boozy.
