Tasting a beer from 1980 was it disgusting? | Castletown Brewery Isle of Man

[@DonsBeerReviews]

‪@SlurpyDave254‬ tried to poison me as well with one of these old beers. He's now serving a life sentence at Isle of Man Post Office, Postal Headquarters, Spring Valley Industrial Estate, Douglas, Isle of Man

@DonsBeerReviews I must have had a lucky bottle, I think you and Simmo lost out 🤣🍻

Always fun to try old finds! A friend found a 14 year old mead he had made in the back of his fridge...it was decent! Good thing for Dave you survived😁 and for all of us that enjoy your videos 🤣 cheers to you & Mrs. B! 🍻

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@DeepBlu206 thank you and always worth a try, I think if you smell it and look at it and it seems fine then it should be ok to try 😀 and cheers from me and Mrs B 🍻🍺

Fair plays to ya. Slurpys trying to get rid of ya 🤣

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@@allthebeernoidea180 I reckon so 🍻🤣

[@thehoppytraveller]

Could have been anything in there Rob 😂 amazing how the malt lasts and develops in the bottle 🍻

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@thehoppytraveller I know but I was thinking if this has an off flavour or aroma I ain't gonna try, I had vinegar in my head but no it wasn't bad, malt sweetness and it wasn't unpleasant. Cheers 🍺 🍺

Christ! That’s as old as me!!! Brave man & exceptional beer !

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@@darkvalebrewer93 I was pleasantly surprised and how stable it was for its age, cheers 🍻

[@gingeryetiroadbeers]

About a year ago on abeeradaywithtk channel we tried a 28 year old can of Flowers Original. It was surprisingly not as bad as we had expected it to be and it did not make us sick. It is a little scarry trying a beer that old. Nice to see there is still some head on the beer. Slurpy Dave is great for sending that to you. Great video!

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@gingeryetiroadbeers I was pleasantly surprised I was thinking vinegar in my head when i poured the beer but no it was quite stable, cheers John 👍

[@markjones9056]

That’s mad that rob…..very brave 🤣🤣🤣🤣still waiting for a sample of yours …….might be 44 years till that tasting …

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@markjones9056 🤣🤣🤣 I have a few giveaways coming up but if ya ain't lucky I'll still send ya something 👍🍺

[@SlurpyDave254]

Think u got asbestos stomach like myself Mr B. 😂. There's no ABVs on any of these bottles..maybe wasnt law those days. Treacle was the word i was expecting...mrs B picking out banana was ace.👍It is pot luck with these very old bottles..hope Thomas Hardy is still in tack. Thanks for the channel plug mate...hope u n mrs B survived next day, cheers Rob😊👍

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@SlurpyDave254 cheers all well the next day, I reckon if it don't smell off and the taste is fine then the beer has only degraded in hops overtime, if it's got too much oxygen ingress then maybe an issue but it 100% hissed on the opening and that gave me a bit of confidence the beer would be drinkable, cheers 🍻 🍻🍺

[@bumpy-isms]

Even though you say it's good still, I'd probably have a hard time swallowing it down just knowing it's age. Cheers MR.B

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@bumpy-isms I say it's good but only that it didn't have any off aroma or flavour, you could taste and see it was aged but pleasantly surprised that it held on to malt sweetness and wasn't undrinkable but I get it I had vinegar in my mind when pouring, cheers 🍻🍺👍

[@kingpaul8530]

Is that beer older than you 😂

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@@kingpaul8530 🤣 I wish

[@Shark_brewing_adventures]

It appears that you did get lucky with this beer. Be no way of aging a modern day beer for that long and expect it to be drinkable. Too bad there was no 50 year old beer for you to try.

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@Shark_brewing_adventures true a beer from 74 👍 I kind of knew once I hear the hiss on the opening it was going to be on the better side of the spectrum 🍺🍻
