Harviestoun Old Engine Oil Porter 6% - #199 - Maxwell Starr's Beer Review

[smith37s]

This one is my go-to beer at the moment, been drinking my fair share over the past little while. Nice robust flavor with more than enough bitterness to balance the dark roasty malts. But still mild enough that you can drink a few if you like. Something like Old Rasputin Imperial I have two and that's more than enough to satisfy me.

Bitter & Twisted...

You guys are bang on. It's like a milk porter if there is such a style. Light and smooth with some excellent flavours. Not too roasty either. Haha you got the name right in the end! Never had the Ola Dubh 30 so I am a bit jealous. Looking forward to seeing your faces when you try it. Great review guys! Cheers!

@mrgrimviking Thanks Viking! I actually liked it alot, I'd buy it again if I could get it here, though it's not the best porter I've had. Ola Dubh 30 review goes up tomorrow as Review #200! Cheers!

The mouse on the cap is 'Harvey'. Yeah I did review the Old Engine Oil and I loved it. The Harviestoun you are on about is Bitter & Twisted so pretty close! Okay on with the rest of the review.

@mrgrimviking Yeah, Heist eventually got it right in the intermission :P

I need to get one of these, big fan of Harviestoun and Williams Brothers.

@KieranD212 Yeah, it was pretty good. If this one is any indication of Harviestoun's brews, I'd like to try their other stuff.
