This was bought at a store. So, seemingly aged by brewery or importer. I’ve had my share of aged Harvest Ales. My general perspective is it’s not worth it for more than a handful of years. But I was curious for a more official aging of it. Soooo, here it is.
It tastes old. It tastes the best and most clean aspect of old. Just a clear cut cardboard and wet paper cutting through a thick and overly sweet English malt sweetness. It ends with an overly strong aged and oxidized maltiness. I’m glad I got to try this purposefully aged version and it further reinforces that I should atop drinking it old. But somehow I keep forgetting after a few years.
