thegreat78 (32), San Marcos, California, USA Jan 9, 2008 Very thick and soy like, no head and extreme alcohol. a slight Ouzo smell and flavor. Not something I could drink much of. Port brews are some of my favorites but this one is not one I care for.
Goodgrief (1077), Middletown, Delaware, USA Jan 7, 2009 I was a tad worried that after having Older Viscosity, I’d be disappointed with this one. Nope. What a great beer! Dark as night pour, this one could have passed for a stout. Chocolately, roasty, a touch of fruityness, some noticeable bourbon notes and a hint of vanilla. Just enough bitterness to balance out the hugely rich flavor profile. Velvety, PERFECT mouthfeel. I love it and I need me some more...NEED ME SOME MORE. MatSciGuy (390), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Jan 7, 2009 [Bottle] Pours pitch black with a soapy tan head that is hesitant to form. Aroma is some sweeter dark malts, roasted coffee, a little bourbon, oak, vanilla, and a hint of some darker fruit like blueberry maybe. Flavor is very roasty, lots of bitter chocolate, some bourbon, and oak. Alcohol is more evident in the flavor than the aroma. A touch of astringency the further I get into the brew, but overall very good. Mette (175), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 4, 2009 Sort med et lille cremefarvet skum. Dufter let brændt, chokolade, let kaffe let bitterhed. Smager let sprittet og af bitter chokolade. God mundfylde og lang eftersmag af kaffe og chikolade. drjay44 (254), Colorado, USA Jan 2, 2009 22 oz bottle from Gabe. Pours a mocha head over a black opaque body.....nose of coffee, cocoa, indicating heavy roasted malts....tastes of heavy, thick hops with a big bitter finish....mouth feel is chewy sticky and very heavy....this is very similar to Russian Imperials in presentation and taste. I need to understand the concept and style of American Strong Ales better if indeed this is a separate category. CaryTheDude (573), Ripon, Wisconsin, USA Jan 1, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Shit, thought this was a stout after I poured it. Lots of coffee and dark chocolate on the nose. Sure this isnt a stout? Flavor follows in a very nice way. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Dig it.
