Ken Brooker formerly with Ford in Dagenham established Harvieston Brewery in 1985 in a 200 year old stone byre near Dollar, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. The brewery uses untreated natural spring water from the local Ochill Hills.
An Unusual name for an unusual beer! A superb, rich, full bodied beer which has been aged in, respectively, Dalmore {2003} and Invergordon {2005} single malt whisky casks for seven months
This allows the smooth chocolate flavors of the beer to mature and blend with the mellow, aromatic flavors of the whisky. A classic combination!
The strength of the 2005 version will be increased to 8.5% alc/vol. This will allow the roasty/ chocolatey/coffeeish/malty-sweet flavors of Harviestoun Old Engine Oil to even stronger mingle with the tannins and whiskey/raisin flavors of Dalmore/Invergordon single malt scotch whiskey barrels.
