Port Brewing Older Viscosity

Bottle. Pours a deep brownish black with a wine-like ruby highlight and no nead- very low carbonation. Aroma is fresh bourbon, caramel, chocolate, toast, roasty, nuts, leather, earthy, alcohol, licorice, woody, vanilla,. Flavor is mineral, chocolate, bourbon, vanillla, oak, toast, sweet brown sugar, molasses, and alcohol. A bit messy and nothing working together very well- alcohol is high, still hot, and not mellow- unsure of the year, but I thought it was older, but seems pretty fresh- and typically undercarbonated compared to some other bottles I have had in the past. OK

Bottle@Home. Chocolate, licorice, whisky and vanilla aroma. Black colour, light brown tiny head, fair lace. Very sweet, salty, chocolate, licorice, vanilla, whisky, nice bitterness, hint of banana, complex. Sticky, cloying, warming. Impressive and powerful.

375ml bottle at Monk’s Cafe. Black, inky liquid with a spitty tan head that was very faint around the outside of the glass. Aroma was big wood, brown sugar, molasses, some toast, vanilla, bourbon. Flavor is heavy on the vanilla, bourbon, wood, molasses, toasted malts. The finish is slick, a little boozy. Nice.

bottle @ 4:20 Birra straordinaria, fuori dagli schemi, ,scura, impenetrabile e con pochissima schiuma; complessità olfattiva estremamente interessante e molto ampia. Oltre al cioccolato al cacao, si avvertono caramello, vanignlia, liquirizia, confetture di frutta estremamente concentrate e zuccherine. Al palato VISCOSA non carbonata, straordinaria, morbida,singolare e unica..Davvero una grandissima birra!!

pours a black with a blood red tint, no head, and a little lacing. smell is of alcohol, cocoa, and brandy. taste is strong, thick, dark fruits, and cocoa, ends dry and a little bitter.

Bottle from Beermerchants.com. Pours black with just a few bubbles on top. The aroma is godly whisky, caramel, vanilla, chocolate and coconut. The flavours intensify the aromas with slightly more emphasis on coconut and vanilla. Oily and smooth, soft as velvet. Deep, complex and oily- a wonderful balsam.

Once at GABF 2009 then again at the Lost Abbey Barrel Tasting. Pours dark brown from the carafe, slightly translucent if you hold it up to the light, with a foamy tan head. Aroma is bourbon, roast, caramel, and vanilla. Flavor is complex and excellent with roast, chocolate, vanilla, caramel, toffee, fig, raisin, and of course bourbon. A little boozy, but damn it, I like it. Viscous on the palate (who would have guessed?) with low carbonation and a slick, syrupy mouthfeel. Amazing beer.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Dark brown body with tan head. Nice malty nose with caramel and plenty of bourbon. Taste of caramel, whisky, malts and bourbon. Really nice and thick. Syrupy. Nice one.
