Engrossing. Delicious smooth pungent English barleywine (actually made in England). So much complex deep flavor and well rounded brown sugar, bordering on a great port. Love this beer, especially the older vintages.

22 years old. Stuck in a bottle since England got knocked out of a world cup by Brazil. The long aging process could have been a tragedy, but the outcome is immense.

Slight mustiness. Still a ton of caramels but a hint of chocolate for me. LCI last night.

I know I've had this before, but that was before Untappd. It's interesting to find out what it's like after over 21 years in the bottle. Firstly, there is no hiss as you open it, but on the pour, it does retain a little carbonation, and what little....

Terence Freestone: ...there is stays all the way to the end. Has thrown a little lees too, unsurprisingly. This is the second oldest beer I've ever had, and is superb, as even Mrs F agreed. The 👃 is figs, liquorice and 🍫, which follows through in flavour, along with...
