Bottle. [thank you, Grovlam, shared @ Plan B]
Vintage 1987-ish
Under the cap there is absolutely destroyed cork. Apart from cork particles, the beer pours deep orange. It’s rather muddy with a small white head - disappears quickly. Aroma has toffee, fruitiness, wood, light tartness, port. Rather full and creamy. Flavour is surprisingly sweet, weak woody tartness and it sticks nicely to my teeth. Fresh even for its age.

Bottle, vintage 1992 smuggeld in to the Roskilde Festival, Plan B beer tasting session, Thanks to Engelsmann. A hazy amber beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, acit and fruity, the taste is sweet fruity, light sour and acid. Medium body with a sweet dry finish.

Bottle 1987. Dark golden coloured with a white bubbly head. Intense with a very faint hint of oxydation. Otherwise notes of barnyard, citrus, fruits, wood and a hint og candied sugar.

Bottle @ Akkurat. Pours an orange color with white head. Sweet malty fruity aroma. Sweet malty fruity and slightly sour tart flavor. Has a fruity malty finish.

Bottle (1992) at RF07 - At the Plan B Tasting Session...... Thanks Guys !! Clear foxy red - white edges. Sweetness, caramel, apples, grainy, rye, brown sugar. Far too sweet - it lacks some sourness.

Roskilde Festival Tasting. 1989 vintage. Pours a hazy red amber. Surprisingly sweet with lots of rye notes. Tastes like ymerdrys. Slightly spicy in the end. Never thought I should say this about a gueuze but it was actually toos sweet.

Bottle 37,5 cl. [Thanks to the owner of Dranken Geers in Belgium for giving me this one]Vintage 1989 was the expiring date, so it was properly one or two years older. This was the original Eylenbosch Gueuze in Schepdaal. No head and no lacework. Clear sparkling body (yes there were still sparkles left in this bottle.) Color was light amber like. Aroma was light vinegar tones with hint of citrus and some dusty wood like notes as well. Also sweet berries and light caramel could be detected. Surprise to find a good amount of sweetness left in this + 18 years old Lambic. Actually reminds me more of a Faro then a Gueuze! Light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation and light dry texture. Light sweet flavor with some acidic. Sweet malt like finish.
