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.

Flaska från SB. Kolsvart tjock vätska med lågt beige skum. Doft av hårdrostad lätt bränd malt, lite bränd brödskorpa, med lite söt toffel i bakgrunden. Smaken är snällare än doften p g a påtaglig men inte störande sötma. Rökta charkuterier, torv och lätt tjära bråkar med kärv espresso, lakrits och mörk toffel om det skall vara ett dessertöl eller inte. Sötman fäller till sist avgörandet. Gräsig och lite jordig humle i bakgrunden balanserar sötma något. Väl sött men också riktigt maffig.

Tasting at home. Bottle shared by me. Lekker zacht vet chocolaatje met beetje terpentine vluchtigheid qua mondgevoel.

Bottle shared thanks to Sjogro. Black with short lasting light brown head. Sweet malts, milk chocolate, dates, dried prunes, sweet raisins, light mineral and a touch of coffee and alcohol in the finish. Over medium sweet with light bitterness. Full bodied with very slick feel and low carbonation. Nice stuff.

0.33l bottle. Pitch black body, light-brown head. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, roasted malts and some reisins. Taste of chocolate, caramel, floral hops, booze and some dark fruits. Medium to full body, creamy texture. In my mind it’s rather an imperial porter than an old ale. Nevermind, it’s very nice.
