Hi everybody,
So my dad passed away some months ago and 1 unopened bottle of Sam Adams Triple Bock was found in the course of cleaning out the house. I got it. It says 1995 on the back label.
I know it was not stored in the fridge the whole time. What are the odds this is any good? I know they have a cork and even though it is sealed with a shrink wrap there is what looks like a little leakege or seepage around that - but not a whole lot. A couple drops.
On one hand I’m curious to see what this is and taste it but on the other hand I know this beer had a reputation for tasting like soy sauce. My guess is it probably won’t be very good after 28 years but I could be wrong.
What would you think - is this worth opening to taste and possibly pour out or would it be worth more just left as is and put on a shelf for posterity with my full bottles of Rolling Rock that still say Latrobe, PA and my unopened bottle of Romulan Ale from Star Trek the Experience?
Thanks
