Handwritten notes: Another Harviestoun offering - not as complex as the Ola Dubh but a fine stand in for those of you on a budget who can only afford $4 per beer instead of $6. The fact that this beer is a bit lighter compared to "Ola" makes the chocolate notes a bit more creamier, milkier. Perhaps the name had me prejudicially turning up my nose - I figured this would be a thick bitter brew. Not so.
