 Thanks for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break today We're doing a beer by pork brewing out of San Marcos, California. This is their old viscosity It is a it says it's an ale aged in oak barrels But it's basically I've had the older viscosity before and I believe the regular old viscosity And it's taste typically like an imperial style, so I would view it as an imperial style It is 10% alcohol by volume. It's very dark, you know, blah blah blah, so I've had most recently older viscosity, which is a barrel aged version, you know spirit barrel age I believe bourbon. It's very very nice. This is not that it is just oak barrel aged But in the bottle, it's been sitting for an additional four years That wasn't when they released it. It was I got it and I think when I got it It was a year old and then I've kept it for another three. So let's see how this is. There's a label old viscosity Hopefully it's very good As you would assume super dark. It's got a nice brown head to it Can't see anything through it some bubbles clinging to the sides Smell it Nice Lot of dark chocolate to it. There's a little bit of a soy sauce aspect on there a Little bit of a salinity to it a little bit of like a new umami aspect that you kind of get with like mushrooms as Well, there's dark chocolate if I didn't say that already I think it did a little bit of a raisin-y aspect on it that lets you know it is higher a bb Smells good though Lot of roasty character hitting you up front like almost a tad bit burnt Maybe a little bit ashy, but not in a bad way. It tastes good a lot of dark chocolate on there Maybe a little bit of a coffee aspect as well Trying to see if I'm getting I get a little bit of that kind of umami Mushroom aspect I was talking about on the nose I am also getting a tad bit of that soy sauce, but both of those flavors are very dialed back Not not aggressive at all the the most aggressive flavors, and they're not like super aggressive They're just nice our dark chocolate that kind of a little bit of a coffee and the super roasty almost burnt aspect Mmm Drinking very smooth for a 10% beer very very smooth And now I'm starting to get like a hint of that raisin-iness and as I keep going it becomes more and more Roasty like roasted coffee very good very good. I'm liking this quite a bit I don't know if people out there have the means to age these things for four years Just find a space and you know your beer cell or your basement or wherever and just stick it away for a little bit Because time has been very good to old viscosity by Port Brewing Anyway, everybody.
