I’d been hearing whispers about this brew for a while now, but when I finally got my hands on a pint, it genuinely lived up to my expectations and then some. Scoring a strong 97/100 overall, it’s definitely a winner.

Our First Impressions

Initially, the brew gives off an enchanting aroma, meriting a 12 on our scale. The scent of smooth vanilla, blended with hints of cacao, paints a picture of a chocolate-covered marshmallow in your mind. The gorgeous perfume is subtly laced with the essence of oak and roast, with a slight touch of alcohol. The blend was so intriguing, it had us all in anticipation, wondering how the ale would taste.

Appearance

Upon eyes’ meeting, the Motor Oil 10 scores a 3. Indeed, this brew has a commanding presence. It sits in the glass like its namesake, motor oil, leaving a feeling of intensity before even taking the first sip. It’s rich, almost velvety look is genuinely tantalizing.

Flavor

A whopping 19 on the scale, the flavor of this stout exceeded even the high bar set by its aroma and appearance. The initial taste introduces you to a robust dark-roast flavor, complete with bitter coffee and sharp tannins. In standing true to its scent, it is these features that cut through the sweetness, presenting a perfectly balanced blend. As you continue your tasting journey, you will experience waves of chocolate, vanilla, whiskey, and oak; it’s an adventure your tongue will appreciate!

Mouthfeel

With a solid score of 5 for mouthfeel, Motor Oil 10 knows how to leave a lasting impression. The mouthfeel exhibits a nutty, toasted coconut essence that harmonizes wonderfully with big hints of vanilla. Upon the first sip, it dives into a marshmallow world, none less than a roller coaster ride for your senses. It genuinely is a wide gulf between highs and lows. There is a sweet punch at the high end, echoing over rumbling lows – a contrast that strikes a perfect balance.

Final Thoughts

To wrap up, Alvarado Street Brewery’s Motor Oil 10 is the epitome of craft brewing at its finest. The skilled brewmasters have created a perfect blend of barrel-aged and non-barrel aged imperial stout conditioned on vanilla beans and cacao nibs.

I highly recommend making a visit to this brewery – it’s an unforgettable experience.
