Beer Review: Old Viscosity – Port Brewing
Dec0
Tasty + Sludgy == Awesome
Amount of brew in bottle: 22 fluid ounces
ABV: 10%
Type of brew: Strong Ale
Price: ~$8
One of my friends loves this beer, so I figured I would give it a shot. Upon opening the bottle I noticed how slow the beer poured I knew this beer would be thick but good gosh. While the beer was being poured I noticed a fairly sweet aroma and on first taste the aroma was backed up by a slight taste of vanilla. It was a lot sweeter than what I expected but it makes sense since the beer is aged in oak barrels. There is no hint of hops or anything with a resemblance of bitterness in this beer. The beer packs quite a punch with 10% ABV but there is no alcohol taste to it which is pretty amazing and dangerous all at the same time.
Overall this beer is pretty dang good. If you have a chance to pickup a bottle of this beer do so.
The good: Very smooth and easy the drink
The bad: Could be a little too sludge like for some people

Beer Review : Smuttynose – Baltic Porter

Deliciousness in a bottle
Amount of brew in bottle: 22 fluid ounces
ABV: 8.7%
Type of brew: Porter (Baltic)
Price: ~$6
My fiance is interviewing for her residency throughout the U.S. and I have been going with her on some of these trips. While in New Hampshire I decided to pick-up this local beer. For some reason porters go hand and hand with cold-ass winter nights. This brewer must have thought the same because this beer kicks-ass. This porter pours fairly thick and bubbly with a nice head, there is a slight amount of carbonation and it smells of chocolate. Not surprisingly the beer has a hint of chocolate but it is also slightly bitter but in a refreshing way. The beer is super easy to drink and gives you a nice warmth as you drink it, granted the beer weighs in at 8.7 ABV which is pretty strong but since this beer is part of the “big beer series” it is not surprising 
. I am really surprised at how good this beer is. I have not heard many good things about east coast breweries but so far this one has been decent.
The good: A really good porter
The bad: You can only get it in New Hampshire and local areas
