From the label

“First produced in 1968 to commemorate the renowned English writer, Thomas Hardy's Ale is a limited edition barleywine ale. Numbered and vintage-dated to be stored for years, even for over 25, this bottle conditioned ale matures in flavour like fine wines. To discover how to store and taste it at its best, visit www.thomashardysale.com In "The Trumpet Major" Hardy wrote of Dorchester's ancient beer: "It was of the most beautiful colour that the eye of an artist in beer could desire; full in body, yet brisk as a volcano; piquant, yet without a twang; luminous as an autumn sunset; free from streakiness of taste, but, finally, rather heady."”
