Bottle shared at GBBF 2015, day 2 - London. Cheers to Scopey. Vintage 1977. Pours mostly clear amber with minimal head. Rich bready malts in the nose, some rich caramel, figs, apple. Medium sweet flavor with nice oily ripe fruits, toffee, some musty qualities, hints of metal. Medium bodied, soft. Lightly sticky-sweet to finish, a little woody, with more toffee, golden raisins. Given its age, this is very nice.

GBBF Day 2. A 1977 bottle thanks to Scopey. Clear amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Nose of oxidised caramel malts. Palate amazingly has some carbonation. Tangy caramel malts, light dry cream. Little dried fruits. Some savoury character in the light smooth finish. I’ve had worse fresh beers at this festival!

Bottle from GBBF, 1977 vintage. It pours clear brown with a small beige. The nose is rich, oily, umami, musty, walnut, varnish, damp leather sofa, oxidized malts, fruit cake and meat. The taste is bitter - sweet, oily, nutty, earthy, mild acidity, fruit cake, mild acidity, spice, oxidized malt and dirt with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body and fine, oily action. Surprisingly not bad!

Bottle from Scopey. GBBF 2015. Clear chestnut lasting beige head. Juglandaceous beer. Smells of walnuts. Slightly aged but not overly oxidised. Raisins sherry. It’s alright. Mad but alright wow.
