This is definitely not your Dad’s 30 weight!
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.

Flaska från SBs beställningssortiment. Tack Daniel. Tjock vätska som namnet skvallrar om och riktigt mörkbrun. Mer kärv IS än american strong ale kärva rostade smaker av bitter choklad, starkt kaffe och hårdrostad malt. Maffigt och gott. Men kärvt.

I bought this bottle from South Bay Drugs & Liquors. Thanks Joey!
Another adventurous dive into the world of Port Brewing. Here goes:
A very nice pour with about an inch of foam and apitch black colour. The foam quickly recedes and there's not much lacing going on.
Lots of dark fruit in the smell with good side notes of toffee and burnt malt.
Taste wise, the first thing I notice is the fruit... Plum and dark cherries, followed by raisins, toffee, a touch of chocolate, vanilla, and there's that bourbon, though I don't think it's going to take center stage after more sips but I could be wrong.
Further sips in and the bourbon just hangs around in the background and that's fine by me as the fruitiness of this Strong Ale has all my attention and deservedly so. I notice the cherries the most when I swish the beer in my mouth and dog gone it, I'm doing that more often than I normally do with a beer. Stop it, Bill! ;^)
I'd say it has a medium mouthfeel and the carbonation is lightly done and it finishes with a slight tartness(from the hops?) This is a high quality and very complex brew and is pretty darned drinkable despite the 10%abv(read: hidden very well) I'd gladly drink it again. The only thing I'm wondering is...how is the Older Viscosity going to stack up against this? I think it will be a tough act to follow..

(542 nap) Hatalmas, szivacsos, sokáig kitartó barna hab, egészen sötétbarna szín. Csokis, kakaós, aszalt gyümölcsös illatok. Fekete csokis, kakaóporos, kávés ízvilág, enyhe aszaltszilvás aromával és markáns fűszeres vonással. Nehézsúlyú versenyző, enyhe szénsavtartalommal és erős keserűvel. Finom, de nekem túl erős a pörkölésből eredő keserűje.
