Bottle. Cotteridge Beano v2. Murky, oxidised beyond drinkable. Could just smell vinegar. Tasted little better.

50th Anniversary version thanks to BIK at Cotteridge Convention 2016. It pours murky deep brown with no head to speak of. The aroma is quite rich, musty, funky, oxidised, dirt and dust. The taste is tart, earthy, umami, musty, tangy, oxidised malts and Granny smith apple. The finish is pretty musty and dirty. Medium body and fine, yet foamy carbonation. Way past its prime. Proper knackered.

Bottle. Cotteridge Beano v2. Murky brown. Didn’t get much from this other than a cardboard vinegary character. Nice tick, though.

Difficult one to rate, 50th ann version, tried at Cotteridge 2. Deep murk brown colour no head. aroma is musty fruit. taste almost like a sherry, but also dirty bitter. Nice for a very old beer.
