Harviestoun Ales

Ola Dubh Special Reserve 16 (12x33cl)

Ref: UK39

Price:  £49.45 (Including VAT at 20%)

With more than a stylistic nod to the classic Imperial Porters (and Stouts) of the nineteenth century, Ola Dubh (or ‘Black Oil’) is a collaboration between Harviestoun Brewery and Highland Park.
Based on Harviestoun’s award-winning Old Engine Oil Beer, this deliciously rich, dark beer is the first ale to be aged in malt whisky casks from a named distillery and, with traceable casks and numbered bottles, the first with genuine provenance Ola Dubh is currently available in three different expressions; small batches have been aged in casks formerly used to mature Highland park 12 year Old, Highland park 16 year old, and Highland park 30 year old.
Retaining the appearance of used motor oil from which the beer gets its name, Harviestoun Ola Dubh (16 Year Old) is deep dark brown, dense and oily.

Tasting: On the nose there are notes of truffle oil and cocoa as well as faint smoke and heathery peat.
