    Sam Adams Triple Bock. It didn't pour out of the bottle; it plopped out like radioactive sludge.

    I think all the High AbV offerings from Avery especially Tweak and Mephistophales

    Had a Cascade Apricot at a bottle share that must have been from the bottom of the tank. It was thick like a fruit smoothie. Straight up sour Apricot pulp. Still tasted damn good but holy hell was that hard to get down. @AndyEdgar will remember this one

    That was actually a '14 bottle of Bruery Filmishmish. Literally poured like an apricot smoothie

    Had SR-71 next to Prop. Porp couldn't stand up to SR-71. SR was so much thicker. It just clung to the side of the glass. I still can get SR-71 out of my head.

    Probably Ten Fidy for me. Rogue Double Chocolate would be pretty close though.

    Sounds like a good candidate, but your review leaves me less than enthusiastic about sampling it. I will leave the driveway sealant for my driveway. Ugh!

    Troegs Impending Descent, a Russian Imperial Stout, is certainly a thick one, but entirely delicious, and completely free from asphalt like qualities. ;-)

    Mornin' Delight is hands down the thickest beer I've ever had. It isn't a beer you drink but rather chew.

    Does thickest equate to highest viscosity? If be curious to know what the highest viscosity readily available beer is.

    Good question. And wouldn't this just relate to the density (specific gravity)?

    In an imperial stout, i firmly believe "driveway sealant" is a term of endearment.

    Evil Twin Molotov Cocktail - that was hard to finish for me.

    This speaks more to my lack of experience probably but it has to be Old Chub Nitro. It was like a scotch milkshake, I couldn't believe how thick it was ayt the time

    Just had BBA Siren Noire from heavy seas and it was much more viscous than I was expecting. Basically chocolate bourbon fudge

    Take any of these entries and chase it with a Cement Mixer shot and call it the "God Throat"

    cream is more viscous than water, but less dense so it wouldn't be as simple as higher density = more viscosity. I think viscosity has more to do with the fluid's resistance to deformations from outside forces, like how quickly it flows due to gravity.
