Anyone tried this one? It has a very smooth velvety mouthfeel to it. Could have been the use of a lot of oats or could something else be at play?
 
Flaked barley, maltose, Carapils (ie-Carafoam or "Dextrine"), naked oats (malted oat), and I think flaked rye to a small extent can all contribute to an increase in body and mouthfeel. I'm sure there are a few other things.
 
Tried this at Lost Abbey about a month ago. Have gone through about six bombers since. My current favorite beer!
 
I just had one of these the other night on draft here in Sacramento. I was surprised to see that the the Port website lists this as a 1.072 OG. It didn't taste like a 1.007 FG (to produce 8.5% ABV). Coffee/cacao extract additions in secondary? Sugar additions in a secondary? Thoughts?
