Clearly very old, smells papery and gone. Taste is not completely dead yet, some sourness, lots of wood, nice amount of funk. Unfortunately also some wet cardboard and smth cheesy. Great fun!

0,375l from bottle at Grote Dorst (some days ago). Vintage 1988. Amber clear color, small white head. Smells of green olives, musty, molasses, rather earthy, spices. Decent smell. Medium to full body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. Tastes lightly sweet, light olives, earthy, honey, spices, peppery, toasty. Finishes lightly sour and lightly sweet with notes of molasses, light olive notes and earthy notes. Pretty decent for the age, bit cardboardish, but quite drinkable 6, 4, 6, 3, 13

Pours gold. Nose and taste of funk, oak, lemony old book. Pretty nice and better than "newer vintages".

75cl Bottle shared at DHVL. Clear amber with a small off white bubbly ring head. Aroma of big mouldy notes really showing the age, oxidization, caramel, apple, blue cheese, light band aid and light citric notes. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and sour. Light medium bodied with very soft carbonation. Intense.

So, there’s a long time want ! Apparently - to set all dicussions to an end - there are 2 variations on this 1 entry. Eylenbosch made a sweetened geuze ( I hear that one is pretty bad ) , but they also made an Oude geuze ( unsweetened ) of course, without (proper) labels, there’s no way to tell if the owner doesnt know. Anyhow, at groote dorst (where this bottle was consumed ) the 1984 vintage 75 cl is the real deal and almost gone, while the bigger lasting stock of 37,5 cl is the sweetened geuze. This rating belongs for the 1984 vintage, 75 cl bottle of unsweetened geuze. Pours clear , good white head. Smell is bit bitter and earthy. Taste is pretty damn sour, still, for a 31 y old beer ! only slightly dusty which dissapeared by letting the beer breath. To the dry side, with some funk present. Maderia-like oxidation is extremely hidden, in contradiction to other beers I’ve had, not remotely this old. Great carbonation and MF, this baby did not water down. Very nice ! Glad I did ignore the comments about this being bad, and asked for the real deal !
