Intimidatingly old bottle. No ABV marked on it. Nose is actually really good. Raisins, malty, slightly vinious, very malty. Taste is pure vinegar, cupboard, battery acid and death. Mother of mercy. Unspeakably bad.
I am going to brush my teeth.
I assume it's got oxygen in or has not been kept well, it's only been in my possession since 2022.
I've given it a neuteral score as it's not possible to assess fairly.
