Port Brewing Older Viscosity

Brewed by Port Brewing/Lost Abbey
Style: American Strong Ale
San Marcos, California USA

shared at Andy’s tasting - pours black wtih round edges (whatever that means- damn you handwritten notes). Arouma is prunes and licorice, strong flavor. Body is light cream, thick molasses, finishes bitter.

Pour is deep black with a small tan head and no carbonation. The nose is mainly bourbon whiskey with some oak, vanilla, and fudge. The taste is BIG on boozey whiskey, chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. A really great ASA with a great whiskey flavor, kind of like a less intense Lost Abbey Angels Share.

#1,800. Bottle - big thanks to a previous secret Santa. Pours pitch black with a huge fluffy tan head. Nose is predominantly bourbon - cherry, wood, vanilla. There is some cocoa in there too but it is mostly that overdone barrel aged character that so many ba beers fall victim to. Flavor is bourbon, a bit of cocoa, some tootsie roll, a good amount of vanilla and a bunch of booze. The finish has that milky quality that I often find in BA impy stouts. This is nice, but nowhere near as good as the regular Old Viscosity.

Bottle, kindly shared by GrOve. A thin layer of tan bubbles upon an opaque, near black body. Aroma is roasted dark malts, quite rounded, with a pleasant chocolate scent and notes of wood, dried dark fruits and soy sauce. Taste is full malty and chocolatey with hint of beef stock. Quite vinous, or maybe just a boozy and wooden touch from the bourbon barrels. Some roasted notes, some licorice, and a fair amount of earthy bittering hops and dried dark fruits underneath. Thick in the mouth, quite smooth, too. Big alcohol warmth in the finish.

courtesy of fiulijn - pours a dark black colour with no head retention; roasted chocolatey aroma, notes of alcohol and nut; very sticky and oily (what a surprise!), full-bodied, very low carbonation; solid bitterness, long chocolatey roasted and nutty aftertaste with warming alcohol notes - powerful

Bottle thanks ryan for sharing. Black pour with a white ring of head. No real pop when the bottle opened. Vanilla, oak, bourbon, chocolate and dark fruit, some warming.

For some reason I’ve owned about 10 of these and have never drank or rated one. Woops. Rating 900. Black pour with a nice sized tan head. Aroma is of chocolate, caramel, dark fruit, vanilla, and oak. Flavor is heavy oak, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and just a touch of molasses. Finishes dry with a good bit of carbonation. I’d almost like a touch less carbonation for the style, but still very good.

Dark brown pour, no head. Extreme port aroma, with liquorice, smoke and spices. Deep smokey liquorice, whiskey and burned wood flavour. Intense.
