550ml bottle from Shropshire. Vintage 1989. Bubbly and crisp carbonation - in fact a little too carbonated for my taste. A very dark beer. Some muddy, cardboard flavours - cola, black Polish malt bread, damp wood, tobacco. Drinkable. Impressive for such a low abv beer at such an age, but not great.

Sampled at St Pete Creative Loafing Beerfest. Thick, unfiltered, and smooth. Flavors were of caramel and slight bitterness.
