My son who is a commercial diver recently dove a shipwreck on British Columbia's West Coast. The steamship SS Ohio went down in 1909 with four lives lost. He located this sealed bottle which he then gave to me for Xmas. The cork is in the name of Read Brothers London, England.
My limited research indicates Read Brothers bottled Guinness around 1900 under the Dog's Head label. They also bottled Bass sparking champagne cider as well.
Does anyone know which product might be in this bottle? It is not dark like stout. I am a huge Guinness fan and travel to Dublin every year and would be tickled to know I have a 120 year old bottle of Guinness on my shelf.
The bottle is currently stored on its side to prevent the cork from drying out. Thanks for all your input.
