From the beer cellar- purchased from Tasty Beverage in Raleigh 2015 +/- a few years. had cork under the bottle cap (crumbled on opening). Nice malty, caramel, toffee,sherry notes. Lost a little carbonation, slightly dry finish but oh so tasty. Btl # 0816

27 year old Old Ale. Aged well. Lots of sherry notes. Caramel comes through as it warms.

27 years old. I’m actually shocked it tasted halfway decent. Zero carbonation, but the essence of dark fruits is there. The cork basically turned to dust 😂

27 year old beer tastes like ponzu sauce. Interesting but not drinkable anymore sadly.

Smells like raisins. It’s old and stale unfortunately. Flat. 1.75. Maybe better fresh? There’s a slight tang too

Had these on the cape the other day. Left one is from 1996, vintage is unknown for the other. Sadly both were past their prime. The 96 was drinkable, the other not so much. Cellared them for way too long, keep an eye on what's hidden away in the basement!
