Subject: Fwd: Blast From The Past

Greetings, Beerlings! Take me to your antique beers...

Stumbled upon my "beer archive" a couple of nights ago - had forgotten
all about it. Within it, I found a bottle of my Up The Creek stout
that was brewed in May of '95. What the heck! Chilled it down, and
opened it up. It smells mildly oxidized, has a light "prune" note.
Carbonation is now more like a lager than a stout, and it won't hold a
head. Tastes a bit like a schwartzbier or a "black lager". All in all
not too bad for an 18+ year old stout!

Any other tales from the crypt out there?

See ya!
