2 beers tonight. Port Brewing's Old Viscosity, an oak aged ale produced in Cali, and Red Hook's Double Black Coffee Stout. $8 and $3, respectively, for a 22 oz bottle.
Old Viscosity was blacker than 3 day old sludge at the bottom of a coffee press, and described by the Centaur as smooth goin down with an intense smoky oak flavor. "Now thats a fucking meal. The darkest beer I've ever had." When held up to the light, nothing could be seen but inky darkness. It is the black hole of beers.
Even though it is now spring, I thought I'd give one more coffee stout a go. Not really a microbrew given that it is distributed by Anheuser-Busch in 48 states, but hey, good just to find out if the beer we usually drink is better than the mass produced stuff. The verdict? For 3 bucks a bottle...well it tasted like it was fairly priced. Unremarkable, but nice enough next to an open window on a rainy monday evening.
