UPDATED: NOV 11, 2023 175 ml bottle, 1992 vintage, shared by ClarkVV--thanks Clark for unearthing this baby! A turbid dark brown. Aroma is strong earthy roasted malt, molasses, tart apple. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, fairly thick, soft carbonation. No sign of alcohol. Enjoyable and amazing it was this good after 31 years!

UPDATED: NOV 11, 2023 170 ml bottle shared by ClarkVV. 1992 vintage. Aroma is soy sauce, chocolate, and old fig. The amazing thing is it still is drinkable. Not offended at all. Chocolate, dried fig, soy sauce. Actually much more drinkable then I imagined.

UPDATED: NOV 11, 2023 1992 bottle drunk 11/11/23. Clear dark ruby-tinted-mahogany. Small ring of tan bubbles. Fruity, ashen, prune, leathery, lots of dark berries. Oxidized though not horrendously so. Soft, watery, ash, char, berries, oxidation, some vanilla and caramel. Maybe a bit past it's prime ;)
