Apr 25, 2007 Pours a dark brown color with dark brown head. Taste is light whisky, wood, chocolate, malt, and alcohol. Slick oily mouthfeel with a bit of alcohol burn.

Apr 14, 2007 Sweet aroma of sherry with some bitterness. Oily black with no head. Medium palate. Hard to get a handle on this really...Tangy taste throughout. Easy to drink for the style. Flavor is mostly a dry, wine-like taste with hints of chocolate, malt, and some cherries. I like the flavor, but not the mouthfeel or finish. Interesting brew...

Apr 14, 2007 Pours a pitch black with a bubbly light brown head. Big toffee and caramel notes. Some vanilla and smoke as well. Very interesting. Taste is quite complex. Some whiskey, dark chocolate, caramel, smoke, and some nuts. Alot going on. I like it. Finish is really smooth, but leaves the big whiskey aftertaste all over the mouth. Mouthfeel is quite rich and full. Drinking really nice right now.

Apr 13, 2007 I had a hard time wrapping my head (and tongue) around this beer. I truthfully had no idea as to what this beer’s style was supposed to be, so I’m thinking...stout of some kind. So it comes out that it’s a Scottish Ale. Well, that’d explain a lot. Aroma was smoky, dark cherries, dark chocolate, wood and some whiskey notes in there too. Appearance was a deep black with brown highlights, smallish light tan head with no lacing. Flavors had this twang that was interesting, dark chocolate covered cherries, black walnuts, whiskey, slightly smokey, and even a little port character. An interesting beer and if you were doing a blind taste test, you’d surely be caught off guard. Interesting for sure. Recommended.

Apr 9, 2007 Boozy with some smokey peat flavors. Flavor is very reminiscent of dark roasted coffee.

Apr 8, 2007 Completely black, reddish carmel colored head. Smells a little smoky, a bit winey, with dried fruit undertones. A bit of coffee in the flavor, smoky taste, very smooth finish with little to no alcohol bite.

Apr 4, 2007 Bottle from puddintane. Aroma was of some bourbon and whiskey. Flavor was malty rich and some hotness. Pretty good overall.

Mar 29, 2007 I liked this, but got the feeling a Nike swoosh was painted on a pair of Keds; the barrel-aging is smooth and subtle to my liking, but seems like it covers up an otherwise very ordinary dark-lager-type beer. With a name like Engine Oil, I want sludge! I want deposits, build-up, gunk and jammed fuel injectors. What I got was low emission. Still a good brew.
