Over a quarter century in a cellar. No expectations - and it was well carbed and absolutely delicious. Stunning.

Leon CK is drinking a Harvest Ale (1998) by J.W. Lees & Co.

(4.4) 25 yr old bottle and aged like a champ! Sweet candied, date, pronounced aged oaky flavors, candied raisins and dates, some herbal notes, a touch of umami from the age and a bold caramelized maltiness; bold, yet elegant and matured on the palate...

Leon CK: ...Lightly surupy, smooth, fairly rich and full bodied. Reminded me a little of the 30 yrs old 1982 Thomas Hardy I had 10 years back but this is more balanced, integrated and just better.

This is so ... incredibly good, something short of an aged Tawny Port or Pedro Ximénez, yet much more caramelly with lots of toffee, dried figs, raisins, a hint of honey, and of course a huge malty backbone. And it's still relatively well carbonated.
