Old Beer

So as I move, one of my "purging of old things I'll never use again" was to open a 11 or 12 year old homebrew, that I made myself that long ago. It has been in the fridge ever since I made it, and I figured about 9 years ago it must have been poisonous.

I opened it carefully over the sink, to a disappointing lack of explosiveness, but a reasonable sigh of escaping carbonation. It had about a teaspoon of whitish sediment in the bottom. It poured nicely into glass, and still has that "large bubble" carbonation, although slightly moderated by age, that I didn't like when I made it. Not sure what causes this, but the best champagne I ever had displayed extraordinarily tiny bubbles, so there's something important here.

Anyway, back to the beer.

It tastes... OK!

It actually isn't a bad beer. I drank it about 8pm, and I'm not dead yet. If this is my last blog entry, you'll know what
