Default Re: 200-year-old beer salvaged

I'm betting this beer tastes awesome. These may be the oldest bottles, but it's not the first time "shipwreck" beer has been salvaged. Michael Jackson (the beer author) wrote about some of them here:

I've had Flag Porter before--not one of the salvaged bottles, of course, but the beer that was brewed using salvaged yeast from the 1800s. Good stuff!
