I reckon Harviestoun's Ola Dubh and Engine Oil Porter are one of the best beers I've ever tasted, and I'd love to brew it myself..

Does anybody have any idea how one could go about? Any recipe or idea?

cheers!
 
I emailed the brewery about this over this past summer but they refused to give out any info on their beers. I will say though that they were more than nice and certainly not unfriendly or confrontational about it.

More on topic, if anyone has anything close to this recipe I would love to hear it as well!
 
From Northern Brewers Posts. Haven't tried it myself though
