Brewed by: Harviestoun Brewery, Alva, Clackmannanshire, Scotland
Description (from the website): "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. We use loads of roasted malt to give it a rich black colour and add plenty of oats to smooth out the tannins and give it a creamy mouthfeel. No aroma hops here, just Galena, East Kent Goldings and Fuggles for bittering. It’s just the job for anyone who appreciates beautifully engineered stuff that used to be made properly. So undo the top button of your pressed pits overalls, ease into the wingback and roll out a rare taste of a truly great British beer. Welcome to our Owners’ Club."
Would I buy it again?: Definitely, and not just because I think the name of the beer is fantastic. This is a very, very dark beer, but it doesn't taste like you might think. It's surprisingly drinkable and enjoyable. Also, the name of the beer is fantastic. You can't throw a beer called "Old Engine Oil" at me and expect me not to buy it.
