Harviestoun Old Engine Oil Black Ale

July 28th, 2010 | Author: admin

Harviestoun Old Engine Oil Black Ale:

If you don’t know my routine by now, I always start off a beer tasting my shoving my nose right in the bottle.  And they say that finding an honest ad man is like finding sober Irishman (very rare indeed), but just like the bottle clearly states, this beer is “chocolately” and “roasty,” at least in odor, and there’s still “viscous” to judge with this beer, so let’s not waste any more time.

Wow, that is good.  Right out of the bottle for the first couple of sips, and the chocolate definitely takes a back seat to the roastedness.  Viscous?  It leaves a bit of a welcome bitterness in the aftertaste, so yeah, let’s say viscous.  I don’t have mirror to check to see if my teeth are stained, and it is hot, very hot actually, so we might see some thermal viscosity breakdown, but let’s continue.

A fizzly effervescence to the head as I pour it into a mini pint glass, and holding it up to the light, Man, that is opaque!  Instead of the flavors and bouquet opening up when poured into the glass, they seem to settle down into a nice even idle (that’s a lame attempt at making a car reference).  Halfway through and I am liking this beer.  This beer is from Scotland, and I am kind of bummed I didn’t review this for our Beers of Scotland newsletter and video we did for Robert Burns Week.  I am a fan of dark beers, and I think Williams Brothers had a black ale I reviewed and really enjoyed (Williams Brothers Brewing Company Elderberry Black Ale).  Perhaps I am settling in on a favorite style? This beer has what I like: roasty, toasty nose and body with a good all-around taste.  At 6% abv, I can have a bunch and not be too worried about falling down on the heath.  There are some stouts and porters that should taste this good, but don’t, so this scores high in representation and style, even though I don’t have many black ales in mind for comparison.  Accessible? I think a fan of dark roasted beers will really like this, but not an average lager or pilsner drinker.  This also scores high in my personal preference, which should be no surprise.  This beer should not be trunked, it rides shotgun all the way.  Beep, beep!

Representation: .90
Accessibility: .75
Style: .85
Personal Preference: .95

Total: 3.45 Flags

Mary Black – The Moon and St.Christopher

July 3rd, 2010 | Author: admin


the collection live 1992 The Moon and St.Christopher (Mary Chapin Carpenter) When I was young I spoke like a child, And I saw with a childs eyes And an open door was to a girl, Like the stars are to the skies It’s funny how the world lives up to all your expectations With adventures for the stout of heart, And the lure of the open spaces. There’s two lanes running down this road, And whichever side you are on Accounts for where you want to go, And what you are running from Back when darkness overtook me, On a blindman’s curve. I relied upon the moon, I relied upon the moon I relied upon the moon and St. Christopher. Now I’ve paid my dues ’cause I have owed them, But I’ve paid a price sometimes For being such a stubborn woman, In such stubborn times I have run from the arms of lovers, I have run from the eyes of friends I have run from the hands of kindness, I have run just because I can. Now I’ve grown and I speak like a woman, And I see with a woman’s eyes And an open door is to me now, Like the saddest of goodbyes Well it’s too late for turning back, And I pray for the heart and nerve. I relied upon the moon, I relied upon the moon I relied upon the moon and St. Christopher to be my guide.
