Old bottle at Chriso’s Fullers-Gales Tasting (thanks Chris!). It pours very dark brown, with a thin tan head. The nose is roasted malt, cocoa, coconut, charcoal, musty, sulphurous hint (due to age?). The taste is charcoal, roasted malt, liquorice, wood, chocolate, caramel and toffee, with a bitter-sweet finish. Medium to full body and fine carbonation. Smooth and well balanced. Perhaps a bit past it, but a classy brew nonetheless.

An old bottle (c. 10 years old) at chriso Vintage Tasting. Pours black-brown with a bubbly, tan head. Musty dark malt aroma - definitely showing some signs of age. Light to medium sweet flavor, aged dark malts, brownies, some leaves. Medium bodied with fine, soft carbonation. Mildly sweet finish, faint roast, dark malts. You can still detect some of this beer’s former glory.

Bottle @ Danish Summer Gathering, Ulfborg 2011. Official 1977 Rebottling, Quart size. The wax was a bit broken but the cork looked in good shape (at least externally). We placed it on a geuze basket and carefully poured to the glasses. Very dark brown with no head. Aroam of very ripe fruit, caramel, port, oxidization is very faint and it becomes a bit more evident in the flavour. Tastes of very riep fruit, port, sherry ,caramel. has held remarkably well.

Kings Ale #1, Brewed 2/22/1902, Tasted 6/11/2011. A huge thanks to Brad for sharing this piece of history. It is incredible to think of how the world has changed since this beer was brewed. This beer has a strong aroma of sherry. Some vinous character, in both the flavor and aroma. There is burnt sugar, soy sauce, old basement, caramel, and dry oak. A thick, rich beer with a great palate. No carbonation. It has lasted surprisingly well, even with a cork that was falling apart. Brad had to decant and strain the beer. What a great experience to try this.
