From Mar 2008

I bought this from South Bay D&L. Thanks Joey!

To preface this review, I thought the Old Viscosity was damn good and a really hard act to follow. We shall see.

It pours from caged and corked 12.7oz bottle... I want to say a pitch black but it's not quite there so I'll say a *very* dark brown with a very small head of foam after the pour that shrank almost immediately to a fine broken layer. Still, it has some good lacing.

The smell had me grinning. Lots of bourbon in the nose(hence, some alcohol) along with fruit, chocolate, toffee, fig...I hope I'm getting it right as it may be too complex to my nose buds and I may be not able to identify everything that is going on here. Bottom line here: wonderful nose.

The taste....mmmm...pretty darned amazing. Wonderful notes of bourbon, toffee, fig, more dark fruit, caramel, vanilla, roasted malt that shows up mostly in the finish, coffee, umm...wow. I'm thinking, too tasty for my glass, too tasty for my glass.(get the reference? ;^)

The mouthfeel is medium, which surprised me, and the carbonation is very lightly done which fits this brew to a T. I have to shake my head about how drinkable this +12%abv brew is. The alcohol is certainly there judging by the warming I get after the swallow but that's pretty much it. No sign of it in the taste for me at all. Well done Port Brewing. You took an incredible brew in Old Viscosity and took it to new levels and still made it a very drinkable brew. F'n amazing. Get some any way you can, I say.

Edit: This is the 2008 edition.

Whiskeys, kávés, kakaóporos, csokis, vaníliás ízvilág, némi fűszeres felhanggal. Kissé száraz, testes, közepesen szénsavas, erősen keserű. Nagyon finom, intenzív ízvilágú sör.

Väldigt väldigt, alltså väldigt len öl. Riktigt god doft också

375ml bottle from Super Deli & Grocery, Seattle. Vintage 2014. Pours an almost black with a brown head. Aroma is bourbon, bourbon barrel, dark fruits, chocolate. Taste is oily with bourbon, chocolate, fruity and some bourbon barrel notes. Still slightly hot, but in a pleasant way. Amazing!

Flaska från Craftbeer/Galatea. Smak och doft av choklad, bourbon, vanilj, rom-russin, likörpralin. Bra balans, lagom sötma, viss syrlighet, fin beska. Riktigt gott!
