Ancient Guinness 17 years 2 months ago #1

A friend recently unearthed a small bottle of Guinness with a best before date of 1974...there is a fierce temptation there to crack it open & sample it, but obviously the likelihood of it being fit for consumption must be very low...any thoughts??

Only one way to find out!

I'd try it. But I reckon I'd give it a good snif and a bit of a sip first. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

And welcome to the site!

Cheers! Will try to convince him not to stick it on ebay! As you say, approach with caution...but fingers crossed! Expect an update when the gawking stops...

Or you could bring it along to an ICB tasting night and open it with a ceremony before poisoning a room-full of people <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Might be interesting to get a broader view on a 1974 Guinness.

I'd say it's undrinkable. But I'd give it my best shot, obviously.

How big is the bottle, Nev?
