In case anyone's interested - I did finally bottle my Muntons Gold Old Conkerwood, put it in the airingcupboard for a week and took it out about 2 weeks ago. The result: well, it's a dark ale, as clear as you can tell, and the taste - kind of unpleasant actually. It's quite bitter, which is ok as I prefer hoppy beers, but there's an underlying unpleasant treacly bitterness as well. I'm hoping it might improve with age and it should get to spend a good long time in the bottle as the way it is now I'm hardly likely to be sloshing it down!
