Port Brewing Old Viscosity

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

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.

Ive had this a couple of times - and It is certainly one of my favourite stouts (or brown ale) at the moment. Dark brown - almost black pour with nutty brown head. The nose is chocko and brown sugar..due to my cold the nose is temperately out of order. The taste is nice and smooth and is ballanced in a impressive way. It is spicy with a bitter finish with hoppy notes picking your tounge. Nice traces of alcohol, laqurice and chocolate together with some wooden barrels. I like this one

Had this on tap at Toronado - a very good beer with excellent flavor and complexity. Viscous (surprisingly), black, and oily with a tan head. Roasted malt and coffee on the aroma. Flavors of coffee, chocolate, smoke, and bourbon. Alcohol on the finish. Very enjoyable if you’re a porter/stout type of person, which I am.

Pours thick with a brown head, light carbonation, goes down thick as well. Flavors of chocolate, coffee and maybe grape .Taste better and better the more you drink.

From Voldby, DK. Bottled, 120209. Dark brown with small head. Aroma of chocolate and liqourice. Flavor is roasted with hints of sweet fruit and alcohol

cocoas, meat soy, light in body, a cool blend with grape an cherry flavors, a tad bit of fruit skin astringency, groovy. Creativity is a great thing.

Dark, oily, molasses, kind of aroma. Reminiscent of Harviestoun Old Engine Oil. Nearly opaque brown/black color with a tan head that rapidly ringed. Medium to full bodied with creamy carbonation. The flavors are disparate, but the alcohol heat is noticeable. There is dark toasted malt, coffee, cocoa, molasses, really overripe dark fruit, mouth puckering, enough bitter to balance the sweetness, at least mostly balance. There might be some cherry notes. This stuff gets thicker as you drink it. The finish is like oiliness that adheres to the mouth. It really sticks with you at the end - mostly bitter with some molasses. Quite complicated. But burnt organics usually are. Mouthsmackingly good.

I had this on draft at the 2006 Pizza Port Real Ale fest in Carlsbad. This brew has absolutely perfect mouthfeel: silky smooth. The flavors and aromas are explosions of chocolate. Loved it.
