Ola Dubh Ale - Harviestoun (Scotland)

Ola Dubh Ale - Harviestoun (Scotland) 8.0%

Ola Dubh Ale pours blackly opaque with a thick nice head leaving lovely lacing. The aroma is dark chocolate and loads of it, coconut, maple, toffee, smokey, a touch of booze and more than a bit of oak. It tastes of coffee, alcohol, with a oatmeal creamy mouthfeel; quite sweet, toffee, then the aroma flavours dark chocolate and coconut come through in the taste with a wood tone laden finish.

Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted Blond Beer (Scotland)


Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted Blond Beer (Scotland) 4.2%

A pleasantly complicated hoppy beer. Bitter but well rounded, a little fruity with tones of citrus (particularly lemon) though mainly hoppy but overall quite a light tasting beer.  It you are interested in different flavours of hops or would like to get to know hops better, this beer would be a fun experience for you. Great bottle cap too.

Old Engine Oil - Harviestoun (Scotland) 6.0%


Old Engine Oil - Harviestoun (Scotland) 6.0%

Opaque and black with a nice tan coloured head of foam. The aroma is of coffee, dark bitter chocolate with some smoky wood tones, hints of hops and a bit of caramel. A lovely complicated tasting beer: hops with some alcohol initially, milk chocolate and sweetened coffee with cream then a caramel finish and finally a coffee then dark, dark chocolate aftertaste. An exceptionally nice porter, exquisitely balanced and full of flavour.
