Port Brewing Older Viscosity

Pours like old, old motor oil. Licorice and and molasses aroma, with a very distinctive licorice and baker’s chocolate flavor.

Inky black-brown pour with a short lived tan head. Intense aromas of vanilla extract, bourbon, and sweet malt. Flavor is well balanced and not overpowering, with sweet vanilla, bourbon, and a hint of oak on the finish. Very smooth and rich. This is a truly extraordinary beer!

Very dark brown body with a small but lasting beige head; Excellent nose, very settled, very balanced and super welcoming, layer upon layer upon layer of notes topped by a fruity whiskey touch; The body is the super full, dense overly complex Old Viscosity body with a fruity part added, AMAZING!!!!; It finishes long with a deep smooothness, again balanced perfectly by a fruity whiskey bite. AMAZING BEER!!!!!!!!

Wow. This one was an incredible treat. Bottle at a PB/LA tasting at Brouwer’s (Tomme Arthur present). I spent a good few minutes savoring the aroma before the first sip. It reminded me of a cross between a dusty attic and a sauna. Oak (lots of it), bourbon (perhaps a bit of scotch), sweet malts, dark brown sugar, vanilla and smoke come through in the aroma. The taste adds powerful notes of cocoa and coffee, with spices and just a tad of black licorice at the end. Like its name suggests, this one is almost chewably thick. It drinks like a port, but is amazingly smooth and finishes incredibly clean. The carbonation manages to keep it from actually feeling like a motor oil, and the oak from those barrels comes through more with each sip. So glad I got to try this one - just wonderful.

0.375L bottle. Wow. What an enticing aroma. I just soaked up the aroma for about 4 minutes before tasting it. Incredibly smooth bourbon and oak aroma with a bit of alcohol. Delicious and smooth flavor with hints of wood, chocolate, and smoke. Thanks to Randy for sharing.
