Port Brewing Old Viscosity

bottles from many, Pailhead, 5000, 11026 maybe a few others. defies my usual taste, but hard to get enough of this brew. Black, very oily, no head. Aroma all over the place, tons of dark fruit, chocolate, roasted grain, faint coffee. Flavor much the same. Plums, fig, raisins, chocolate, bitter cocoa, bitter grain, faint coffee, spicy hops in the finish. Thick luscious body/mouthfeel. For so much going on this is a well crafted beer.

bottle shared thanks to TexasJeep. Pours dark and thick with no head. Nose is roasty, burnt coffee and molasses. Taste was roasty with coffee and molasses like the aroma. Mouthfeel was medium-to-thick with dry finish. This was very much like a stout. Liked this a lot.

1 pint 6 fl. oz. bottle. Pours a deep black color, with a brown head. Flavor: Coffee, roasted malts, and a hint of bourbon sweetness.

black as sin, smallish roasted tan head... gorgeous, deep, dark nose, rich and resplendent, redolent of molasses, anise, whiskey, a twisted stygian blend...classic! taste: profound impact on the palate, heavy, full, and packed with prodigious flavors. All that in the nose and a little more, hangs long on the tongue. some plum, dark cherries, cocoa,...but well-blended, no particular one flavor rides over any other. Is this a stout, a porter, an old ale...? The whiskey is king in it, and anything else fades away...very mellow, relaxing, satisfying... 10%? It’s there, but it’s not intrusive, it’s ...mmm, motor oil! Very solid...so rubust, and so delicate...well put-together... oh, man!

Pours a pitch black with a light foam ring. Aroma of alcohol and molasses. Tastes very strong! Astringent & dry, vinous, concord grapes. Body is thick and chewy with a nice creaminess and ok carbonation. Not bad, a bit monochromatic, though, for a barrel-aged beer.
