On the subject of condition, I've had 20-year-old Courage Russian Imperial Stouts with more condition than the later-day Gale's-bottled Prize Old Ale. It was just undrinkable.

Some have been flat but some have picked up a light condition. I hope I get the chance to try the Chiswick bottled example, I fear it will all go to the states and not make it south. A friend, Martin, once had the honour of serving a pin of this most recent batch on draught, I think that would have been very interesting.
