What do you mean it gushered? Out of the keg?I had a kegged barley wine that gushered at 3 1/2 years. It was great up to that point and I learned a lesson: bottle beers you plan on aging. Lost about 2.5 gallons.
Can I be invitedto the "Kick the keg Extravaganza!!"??

In August 2012 my dad unearthed a few bottles of a brew he did in August 1999. It was terrible but he drank them all. The yeast sediment at the bottom looked like bath tub scum. It was a great experience though because a week later we got all of his old stuff out again and brewed my first batch!
What type of beer was it? What style?

Last summer (2013) I drank a bottle of beer I brewed in 1986, along with a bottle of cellar stored Thomas Hardy's from 1990 or 1992 (Can't remember which). Both were very similar, and drinkable, they had restrained but present carbonation, no hop aroma, very little perceived bitterness and were malty, raisiny and port like. Both were dark and clear. In 1986 I was still brewing extract with grains, leaf hops and most likely partial boils on the stove, and it lasted well for a beer 25+ years old
I forgot about a beer I had in a keg. The keg had lost it's pressure and I figured the worst. I had just cleaned some good kegs so I transferred it over and recarbonated it by force carbonation. Got a glass and it was wonderful! We had done 60 gallons with our brew club at a micro brewery for "Teach a friend to home brew day". It was a hopped up version of skull splitter from England. It is known as Sling Blade! After it fermented we pumped all the fermenters into a 53 gallon Rye Whiskey Barrel and left it for 6 months. It's still excellent after 2 years!
