May 29, 2008 Dense black pour with a dark brown head that disappears. Smells like a roasty porter with a bite of chocolate and black coffee underneath. Tingles the tongue I would almost say it is a light drinker. Roasted malt and chocolate bitterness finish out this one in a good way. Not sure why this is an old ale though.

May 28, 2008 Thick black color with just a hit of red. Wheat colored head that disapates rather quickly. Sweet caramel and licorice notes on the nose. Thick cocoa, tobacco, a bit of cola from the carbination. Clean dry finish, which is nice for a beer this dark in flavor.

May 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours opaque black with a very thin, whispy tan head. Aroma is roasty, coffee, bittersweet cocoa. Taste is roasty, coffee and very dark chocolate, balanced by a hop dryness, with hints of sweetness and smoke underneath. Finish is roasty, with a very slight, lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, maybe a little bit more watery than expected, moderate to low carbonation.

May 23, 2008 Jet black with no head, no lacing, and little carbonation. Thick and viscous. "Old Engine Oil" indeed. That’s just what it looks like. Nose of raisins and coffee. Taste of dark chocolate, raisins, plumbs, smoke and burned coffee. Pleasantly bitter coffee-like finish.
