Pitch black liquid. It was completely flat with just a few bubbles floating on the surface and it left no lacing.

Smell: 8/10

Red wine, port wine, dried fruit, whisky, booze and yeast.

Taste: 8/10

Wine, nuts, wood, chocolate, whisky and coconut.

Mouthfeel: 3/5

Smooth with no carbonation. Had a noticeable alcoholic feeling that dried my mouth up.

Comment:

As I poured this I was quite surprised as it didn't look like Old Viscosity. It was completely flat and when I smelled it the first thing that came to mind was port wine. I had a glass of red wine available compared the two and there where several similarities. After tasting it I realised it had allot of red wine flavours. But also whisky and a mix of other alcoholic beverages.

Not sure what would fit with this beer but I imagine the same thing that works with strong red wines, or port wines, with lots of flavour.

This was an unexpected and interesting experience. I expected the same beer only with some wood and whisky flavour. But this version was a completely different beer. I quite enjoyed it though.

Total: 3,8/5
