An enormously rich and satisfying beer, Old Viscosity begins with a malty nose with caramel and chocolate overtones. An incredibly rich beer with substantial malty notes, Old Viscosity finishes with a dry, sweet Dark Chocolate bitterness.

Bottle 2015: Poured a dark black with a light brown head. Aroma is rich roasted malts, chocolate. Taste is roasted malts, chocolate, tobacco, light fall off in the finish. Probably would have been better fresher.

650ml bottle from dsnowden! Wow, i’m excited, thank you!
Pour BLACK, looks like an imperial stout. Soft beige head, nice lacing on the inside of my snifter. Aroma is smokey, and chocolatey. The hops come through, and add a nice dimension. There are also some coffee notes with some slight fruitness.......plums, and figs. Flavour is awesome! The hops are there, along with a wicked coffee taste, that finished with a great bitter chocolate that lasts forever. This is like liquid chocolate/coffee brownie, with hints of molasses. The mouthfeel is NUTS! Viscosity is dead on, this stuff is THICK. It just coats my mouth, after i swallow i can still feel the coating in the top of my mouth. The 10% is nowhere to be found, What an amazing beer, i can’t find anything wrong with it.

12/VII/24 - 1Pt. 3.2Fl. Oz. can from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte), shared @ post Katie’s UK beer tasting drinks (@home), BB:XI/2024, lot: 2324 (2024-547)
Clear dark brown to black beer, creamy beige to brown head, a bit adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: a bit oxidized, earthy, good roast, chocolate, caramel, hint of vanilla. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: good roast up front, a bit sweet, oxidized touch, caramel, more food roast. Aftertaste: sweet malts, very oxidized, more roast, bitter, pretty damn bitter, good dark roast, coffee, hoppy dry finish. Good stuff! I remember this beer being one of the first real American Imperial Stouts I've ever had. It's still pretty darn tasty!

Can. Almost black. A lot of coffee, some vanilla, roasted malts, dry earthy notes, alcohol, nuts. Medium sweet and boozy bitter. Medium bodied. A bit thin, not viscous at all.

19.2 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Much thanks. It does look the part. Aroma shows burnt caramel and deep roasted malt. Flavor is roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Hints of dark fruit. Unfortunately the body is super thin for the style. Damn near watery. In the year 2011, this was top tier. Today, real average.

Bottle thanks to my pal DK. Dark pour and large head. This brew is a few years old but still fine carbonation. Nose is dark fruit and molasses. Tastes of plums, dark cherry, molasses, coffee, tobacco. Smooth drinking. Nice stuff and aged well

Bottle thanks to Bursprak. Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Aromas of dark chocolate, roasty, tobacco, spicy, dark fruits, malty. Taste is about the same. Light fudgy and vanilla notes from the barrel, but mostly the base beer left. Some licorice in the back aswell. Older is sooo much better than this!

2011 vintage. Pours black, creamy tanned, médium sized, surprisingly stable head. Smell is bit dusty, sure, but not very cis 2 nonenal at least. Taste is full, roasty, deep port base underneath. Bit chocolate bitterness, malty, rather dry. Bit burnt. Aging it this long ( even though not intentional) wasn't perhaps the best choice to make, but sure this still is quite good.
