I have to ask - how was the Goudenband?Torontoblue wrote:I still have at least 2 bottles of each left over tooIlluminatus wrote:Wow.

Lovely. It was almost Port like in it's flavour. There was a high vinegar aroma to it but that never came through in the taste or finish. It was just like drinking a fine port with a hint of sourness. I'm not a big drinker of Belgium beers but this was good.Illuminatus wrote:I have to ask - how was the Goudenband?Torontoblue wrote:I still have at least 2 bottles of each left over tooIlluminatus wrote: Wow.

I'm a little surprised that it didn't get too vinegary. That's pretty awesome. Now, where do I go to buy 20 year old beer?Torontoblue wrote:Lovely. It was almost Port like in it's flavour.

You're lucky you can get beers the same age as you are. I dread to think what a beer from 1970 would taste like I guess if it was Grotney's Red Barrel then we wouldn't know the differenceJesseM wrote:Oh by the way, that 88 Goudenband BETTER have been good. A lot of good things came out of 1988, like me for instance! But all self flattery aside, it always blows my mind when I read about someone drinking a vintage from when I was born, or around then. To think that beer is actually is old as I am, it just seems, bizarre. It would be so surreal for me to drink a 1988 vintage .
