Harviestoun Old Engine Oil

Harviestoun Old Engine OilBeer-a-Day #100

Huzzah! Triple digits!

I didn’t put much (read: any) thought into what I should have for beer number one hundred, but this seems like a good choice. Says the label: “Viscous. Chocolatey. Roasty.” Those sound good. Actually, they’re three adjectives that could be assigned to me from time to time.

(Enough blathering. Open the bottle.)

Not as black as some other beers I’ve had lately, but pretty darn opaque in the glass, with a creamy medium brown head. Primarily chocolate in the aroma. Big roasty flavor (just like they promised) with a good hop bite. I find it hard to believe that it’s only 6% ABV.

A good choice to hit the century mark, if I do say so myself.
