Alcohol Content: 10%


Review: I was still in my refractory period after the double beergasm I just had when I cracked open the Old Viscosity Ale. I was getting drunker by the second and perhaps a bit unable to keep my palate clean. Still, I was able to recognize the Old Viscosity Ale as an excellent beer. Here's what I can discern from my notes. It's a black, low-carbonation ale, much like motor oil (hence the name and bottle art). The aroma is straight alcohol and chocolate with a smooth mouthfeel. The alcohol flavor penetrates through the toasty choclate hoppy flavor. Overall, very very good. Again, another reason to head to San Marcos, you know, aside from the amazing weather, surfing, atmosphere, etc etc.

Rating: 4.5/5
