Jan 30, 2009 Bottle thanks to Bman1113VR. 1992 vintage. The smell is paper, malts, caramel, dark fruits, oxidized, and plum. The look is clear with an amber color not too much head. The taste is very much worchestire sauce, malts, vinegar, oxygen, spice, plum.

Jan 24, 2009 1992 bottle thanks to BMan1113VR. Pours a lighter amber brown color with the faintest hint of a head. Nose is duck plum sauce, (housin sauce?), and sweet spice. Smells delicious. Taste is brown sugar, mint, and meat. I think this would be awesome with braised lamb in a mint jelly sauce. Lots of BBQ notes on the back end. Phantom finish that is gone within seconds. A great experience.

Jan 20, 2009 1991 bottle shared with willblake and dickinsonbeer. Wow was this one showing it’s age especially when compared to a fresh bottle. Poured a reddish brown with a small soapy white head. Aroma of flower petals, old honey, mud and pond water. Absolutely no carbonation left what so ever, watery. Flavor still had some noticable sweetness, some vegtable notes and grass. I think the seventeen + years has caught up to this one.

Jan 17, 2009 20090117 1991 bottle thanks to mwsf, think I’ve had it close to a year now. Clean mapley brown color with typical sudsy wisps of an aged beer. Aroma is musty, spicy, and old, yet still quite recognizably AOSA. Body is light, slick near the end, finishing with light nutty bitterness. Some mineral notes. It’s quite obviously old and hasn’t held up as well as hoped, yet still surprisingly drinkable. Well worth the experiment.
