Bottleshare at Leightons stratoflat. Thanks to Paul for half inching this best before 1998 bottle from the museum! Hazy amber beer, tidy but short lived off white head. Airy palate, still has decent fine carbonation. Very oxidised caramel malts, a little cream. Tangy tired dried fruits. Light finish. You never know what you might get with an ancient beer like this, unfortunately this one is properly knackered.

Draft at Wynkoop. Poured a clear, amber golden orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was light sweet malts, light grassy and some light herbal hop notes. Flavor was about the same. Sweet malts, crisp notes. Okay.

Bottle split at LKS, thanks to Bropey for this BB ’98 vintage. Lightly hazed amber with a beige covering. Nose is brown bread, nutty, dark fruit, light oxidisation. Taste comprises biscuit, toffee, brown sugar, wooded notes. Medium bodied, surprisingly spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Ok for age.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Paul. Best before 1998. Pours clear gold with a frothy, off-white head. The nose has some toasted grain, leaves, mild oxidation. Medium sweet flavor with mild caramel, wood, orange, bread. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes sweet, bready, with some definite oxidation, more caramel, mellow citrus fruits. OK.

Bottle bbf Feb 1998!!! It pours hazy amber with a thick off-white head. The nose is toasty, brown bread, light caramel, light oxidised, twig and earth. The taste is toasty, grainy, brown bread, nut, twig, earth, toffee, light oxidisation, umami and a touch of dust with a dry finish. Medium body and decent, lively carbonation. Has held up pretty well considering. A pretty boring amber, but good for its age.

Tap. Pours crystal clear amber, small off white head, decent lacing. Aroma is faint caramel, grass, biscuit. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter, a bit metallic, harsh on the tongue. Medium body. Meh.
