Jeff Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Just moved into a new place & finally retreaved my stuff from over 2 years in storage. After the unpacking there they were.......2 six packs of batch # 3 Vintage, dated "Oct 2000". Should be nice by now :D Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.J. Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hey Jeff, I am lucky also. Have a few cartons of each vintage since 1998! CHEERS, BJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philthy Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Fair enough! But seriously, I would be interested to know how they tase after that long in the bottle? Let us know when you have sampled. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooze Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I cracked an Oct 2000 last night and it was still spot on. I've only got five left :cry: , so I'll be stretching the others out, aswell as trying to duplicate it myself. Guess I'll just have to drink my own and make a start on the 2003 vintage. The last time I had one, it tasted very different to the 2000, but maybe it has changed a bit by now. Enjoy your beers :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutwork Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I've got 2 cartons of Vintage #1 (1998) does anyone know if they will still be alright? I'm thinking of cracking one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I'd be drinking that 98 pretty soon. I've still got a few and they're still OK, but not superb. Admittedly though they haven't been kept under ideal conditions. The 99 is getting a bit long in the tooth, too. The 2000 is fine and 2002 is quite nice drinking.

Greg B Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 ... All of which kinda raises one of my mist common dilemmas - when is it time to say 'Excellent stuff, lets neck the lot now' I live in fear (terrorist bombings don't scare me...) of having a beer or wine that was sensational last year, so I kept it, only to find that I have overstayed and it has declined to now be shit. ps: the 'Now' refered to is a period of weeks/months, not minutes.
