The chocolate comes back and then a bitter finish. All in all not a bad beer. Ethereal (1515), London, Greater London, England

Sweet dark choc malt on the nose and on the tongue, but with a cheesy note that gives it body and a fruity hint right at the swallow. Very soft on the tongue, slightly oily. blklab2007 (981), Connecticut, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Dec 8, 2008 I was pissed off by the name of this beer I expected something a lot thicker heavier engine oiler This is a watery unsatisfying palate that should get a one out of five just because they called it engine oil Well barring that it is actually quite enjoyable In the end the six percent abv felt about right and so I can forgive mostly BillWyce (95), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Dec 5, 2008 Pours inky black with a small, dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate with some malt in the background. Very smooth on the palate...almost unexpectedly so. Chocolatey notes with a slight bitterness at the end. Nutty undertones as well. Very good.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 3, 2008 very well balanced. bottle. pours black with copper highlights. very thin to no head. aroma is very faint smells mostly of chocolate and smoke. starts with a tingle as to suggest alot of carbonation but the head says otherwise. but urgently turns to a silky chocolate and then a smoky hop flavor that lasts. after the bottle i noticed my mouth was really dry. i dont know what that means so i wrote it. overall i think it would make a great day to day beer.
