I’d like to say we had specifically cellared a keg of the 19 August 2008 batch of Double Trouble in anticipation of tapping it this winter. In fact, we just forgot about it and happened across the keg at the back of the cold storage room.
Regardless, the 2008 vintage will go on tap this week at the Brewhouse just as soon as the current keg of Nut Brown Ale is finished, so drink up!
Preliminary studies indicate that the D.T. has aged well. The higher alcohol level has preserved it for posterity, and the melanoidins that lend this beer its deep garnet colour have contributed to sherry-like flavours.
The brewers are certainly looking forward to tapping this treasure!
