Well, a few weeks conditioning and it does have a lovely condition to it, but, having not been able to drink it in the 70's I cannot say for certain if it is anywhere near what it used to be. It lacks the body of the modern counter part and is far more like a ordinary strong bitter in that respect, it is hoppier on the bitterness as well, but once that fades away it does lead into something that has the same malty flavour as modern Abbot.
It is hazy as heck but that is unrelated, although I can say it isn't dark enough for all the information that I have which says it should be 26 EBC, mine is probably closer to 16!
Next I will have a go at the modern incarnation as this I do have a comparison for and I quite enjoy it so a good excuse to go drinking.
