Ola Dubh Special Reserve 40

Thanks go out to pghlee for saving a growler of this from the recent cask at The Brick Store. He saved this for some of the stragglers that couldn't make it on the previous day for the cask tapping. Jet black, still pour with no sign of life in...

Ola Dubh Special Reserve 12

Motor oil pour as usual with no lace, but a nice ring and thin film of mocha head sitting on the surface. Nose is big on the whisky aroma and it is light and tempting - very easy. Obviously a malty monster with plenty of mild roastiness. This is my...

Old Engine Oil

Additional notes 08/30/24 Now called "Black Ale", when originally this had "Porter" on the label, and frankly, is really a Stout! So there you are. Confused yet? It's been a while since I had one of these. Not the almost 19 years between these...

Old Engine Oil Special Reserve (Aged In Malt Whiskey Casks)

Delicious. A fantastic combination of malt, dark fruits and alcohol with a little chocolate thrown in on the top. There's a lot of richness about this beer which actually reminds me a lot of the Celebrator Doppelbock. Black, thick pour with very...
