I thought I would start the new year off in style. My last one. Didn't mean to keep it so long; as expected, cork broke while opening the bottle. After fishing cork debris out of my glass, first impression is how dark and murky it is. Flat. Rated fresh.

Oldest beer I’ve ever had. Holds up surprisingly well. Soy sauce on the nose but big rich chocolate and tobacco flavors. Smooth and silky.

Thin but malty. Smells tart, but doesn’t taste it. Very smooooooth.

Best 1997 beer I've ever had (fuck triple Bock). Raisins, cardboard, chocolate, toffee, heat. Pretty dry and shockingly drinkable.

It would have been decidedly more enjoyable if the cork hadn't disintegrated on me while I was opening it. Outside of that, it has the consistency of a beer aged on oak - pleasant maltiness.
