7 year out of date stout. Worth drinking?

[Mighty Flex]

I have a bottle of Young's Double Chocolate Stout that went out of date in June 2003.

Do I drink it?

Or will I regret it?

[MoonMonkey]

It'll be fine.. BBE dates are there only as a guide. Just go for it and post the results.

I wouldn't - but you can always try a sip, if it's rank then discard it.

It stout of date. Do you have the bottle to drink it?

[sherman]

All beer/stout/lager will go off eventually weather 7 years is long enough for the beer to go off in a bottle is any ones guess. Open it and have a sniff. If it doesnt smell right bin it or you could regret it.

Just pop it in the Baltic for another 193 years and it should be ready.
