Bottle pour into a taster glass.
Brown appearance with no head likely due to its 40 year age. Dusty leather raisin nose and taste, with expected but modest oxidation. Mouthfeel is thin and still. Privileged to have.

1977 Vintage brewed by Eldridge Pope & Co. However, everything (including Thomas Hardy's Ale) is lumped under O'Hanlon Brewing since it eventually took over. This beer is likely the same or very similar to Thomas Hardy's Ale. Pours dark burgundy and no carbonation. Smell is port, chocolate, and caramel. Boozy on the nose. Taste is sweet caramel upfront, with gorgeous notes of port, sherry, oak, licorice, chocolate, and a tiny bit of oxidation. So smooth and complex. Mouthfeel is thick and viscous.
