Harviestoun brewery is a Scottish brewery. This beer is named by Harviestoun’s original master brewer Ken Brooker spend much of his early life crafting wooden design prototypes for the Ford motor company. This black, viscous beer reminded Ken of thick, gloopy car engine oil, so he named it in honour of his second love, the internal combustion engine.This beer has a rich malty aroma with roasted notes. The color is black like engine oil, and the head is thick with good retention.
The taste is malty with some chocolate sweetness accented by roasted malt. There is some weak old ale oxidization flavor and a hint of raisin. Hop flavor is only a hint or suggestion of floral flavor. The mouthfeel is full and smooth and creamy. The finish is malty sweet with some chocolate.
This is a delicious beer, wonderful rich flavors all blending well. Great smooth mouthfeel, making this a just ideal beer to drink.
