Port Brewing Old Viscosity

SpringsLicker’s Fish Fry. Sample from a bottle thanks to illinismitty. Dark dark brown with an off white head. Bourbon oakiness, chocolate, some vanilla and roast. Taste is chocolate, some vanilla, with a nice whisky note.

Pours an opaque blackish-brown with a nice creamy tan head. Aroma is of chocolate, cinnamon, booze, and cherry. Flavor is bold: Of coffee, chocolate, wood, leather, and scotch. Mouthfeel is medium, sticky, medium viscosity, with a whiskey finish. Very tasty and very satisfying. Overall, very good to excellent.

Bottled@Konttori, Tampere. Pitch black colour, nt much head (the small there is is brown). Aroma is liquorice, caramel malts, some alcohol, coffee and also some dark berries. Very sweetish aroma. Flavour is liquorice, some roasted malts as well as caramel malts and a bit of old coffee. Feels more like a stout/porter than American Strong Ale.

22oz bottle. Pours pitch black in color with very thin brown head which does not last long. Aroma chocolate, roasted malt and coffee. Taste dark chocolate, roasted malt and coffee with bitter finish. More like a stout or porter.

A big, rich, smooth mouthfeel on this sucker saves it from being rather dissapointing. Smell is light coffee and black tea mixed, and medium roast malts. The flavor is rather bland with just a little bit of milk chocolate and and light roastiness to go with an unfulfilling watered down taste throughout the temp range. Feels like a stout in the mouth but taste like a lighter porter. 2009 22oz.

Draught. Black body with a small light brown head. Lots of roasted malt in aroma with some coffee and chocolate notes. Sweet malty aroma with light roasted coffee notes as well as chocolate. Well balanced and the alcohol is well hidden.

Bottle from zythum. This pours very dark, black in color with just a pencil thin head. A few swirls develops a nice frothy head. Aroma is chocolate and roasty, coffee notes, plums and pine tar. Flavor has a lot of the same, chocolate, molasses show here, plums, and bitter piney hops in the finish. As it warms a bit I get some bourbon flavor. This is silky smooth, hardly an aggressive edge to this and very drinkable at 10%. I know this is sort of a hybrid of a beer but it drinks more like an Impy Stout than anything else for me. Gets better the more I drink it. Excellent beer. Thanks Ron!

Bottle. Black with a small head. Full body with some bitterness.Strong presence of alcohol as you would expect. Definitely magic.
