She-ra Posted March 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Spending close to 200 years at the bottom of the ocean is hardly the ideal recipe for an award-winning beer; this beverage generally does not improve with age, let alone when exposed to seawater. But while the brews recovered from an 1840s shipwreck may now smell like stinky cheese and taste like goat, an analysis of the compounds inside the vintage beers revealed that they had a similar composition to modern day lagers and ales and therefore probably didn’t taste that dissimilar to today’s suds. Although slightly older beer has been discovered previously, according to the authors of the study, this is the first time that chemical analyses have been performed on beer this old. Their findings have been published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

moon tide Posted March 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2015 That'd taste more like goat ass wouldn't it? That's a goat crossed with an ass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theotherguy Posted March 11, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think beer tastes like goat anyway. Bitter, soapy, sour goat. As far as I'm concerned, beer is a waste of good water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foil Hat Ninja Posted March 11, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Unfortunately, 170-year-old goats do not smell like beer. Even worse, I would have volunteered to drink it too, and I would have finished it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperdyer Posted March 12, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ehhhh....fresh beer tastes like goat to me as it is. You must not have had a finely crafted German beer like St. Paulie Girl. Then again, since I've never eaten goat, who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine made a home brew pumpkin beer, which was slightly palatable... but other than that I haven't tried any "good" beers that I know of. I don't drink often, and when I do it's usually wine coolers or something like long island iced tea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds Posted March 13, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'd probably still drink it, you know, for science. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
