[quote:giz28usf]In the name of science, an 1886 bottle of Carlsberg beer was uncorked to obtain the original strain of lager yeast used. The beer tasted like port wine, says yeast scientist Dr Andrea Walther at Carlsberg Labs. “Our tasting panel said it was sherry-like, chocolate, with strong fruity aromas.”[/quote:giz28usf]
