I'm not rating this since it definitely wasn't cellared correctly. A sip was enough.

Special. No carbonation. Dark, ruby in the light. On the nose sherry, wood, hint of liquorice, dust? Thick and syrupy mouthfeel. Obvious oxidation, but quickly past that. Raisins, treacle, chocolate, fruitcake. Light chocolate and liquorice finish. 35 yrs

Has aged like a dream. They were ahead of their time with the 180ml bottles for strong beers idea.
