    That €1 euro Goose Island Christmas Ale past it's date was too good to be true. All sugary and alcoholy...not in the way it's supposed to be.

    Phew! I nearly bought some bottles of it yesterday but settled on the Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale for €1.50 instead.

    But it can change rather a lot over time in the bottle and not always for the better.

    You're talking a period of over 3 years imo before anything like that happens, if even.

    Have you tried a newer bottle to compare? Unless there is a defect in the bottle I doubt a 7.5% ale would drastically decline in a year

    It was bottled in 2007 for maturity at Christmas 2012. Had one last year (maybe longer) and it was lovely. The last year hasn't been kind to it.

    Just checked their statement and it says it develops in the bottle for 5 years.

    7 was a big ask.

    But feel free to work away, lads.

    Tried a few of the Black's Kinsale Session IPA here in Kinsale. I like it. Also got their original IPA on draft for 4.80 which is great value (was 5.60 down the street..). Also tried the Franciscan Well Blarney Blonde from draft - I liked it alright.

    After last years ones I said I wouldn't buy again but on Thursday I picked them Up twice and put them down twice as I was tempted but will wait see if they come out as singles.
