Fuller’s 1845

Brewed by Fuller’s
Style: English Strong Ale
London, England

Serve in English pint, Trappist glass

Amber wit nice head. Aroma malt, nutty, chocolate. Taste sweet malt balanced with dry hops, chocolate. Medium body, carb average.

Dark reddish-amber color, a minuscule amount of suspended yeast is visible. Frothy two finger head upon pour. Raisins are strong in the aroma, and I may even be picking up some dried apricots. Molasses also makes itself present. Taste reflects many of these, but spices and a biscuity flavor become even more prominent. Medium body, average carbonation and pleasant somewhat bitter finish.

50cl, English brewery, from Slijterij van Bergen Eindhoven, complex brew, yet easy to drink, balanced, clear, good head, good brew

Deep ruby colour with a thick biege head. Aroma is almost caramel like. Rustic, sweet flavour, including caramel and oak. Very nice.

Nice amber colour with light coloured head that quickly disappears. Sweet malty aroma. taste sweet, slightly citrusy, with a light bitter finish. very good.

A: Pours a dark copper amber with a nice two-finger off-white head. Quite a few rings of lacing as it goes down. S: Strong whiff of caramel malts alongside some initially-unidentifiable spices, almost reminding me of Samuel Smith’s Winter Welcome. Somewhat earthy. Hints of orange marmalade. T: A nice, brisk hop presence; slightly herbal and earthy. Very nice caramel malt in the background, with a mild amount of spice. Slightly sweet. Still having trouble identifying the specific spicing--perhaps the orange marmalade I detected in the nose.. Mild hints of tobacco and a very slight green apple skin presence. M: Medium bodied with a moderate, brisk carbonation. No detectable alcohol presence. Chewy and biscuity. D: Although certainly not within the English definition of sessionable, this is one incredibly drinkable brew. Nice balance between earthy hops, fruity esters, and caramel malt.

Bottle - Clear copper colour with a good beige head. Low to medium carbonation. Medium body. Caramel malts. Dark fruits. A little spicy. Touch of alcohol. Moderately bitter, dry finish with fruity aftertaste. Very nice.

Bottle. Dark amber/ruby with a thick yellowish beige head leaving some lacing. Aroma: malt, toffee, fruit. Taste: toffee, herbs, spices, semi-sweet malt, butter, and also something familiar that is hard to place (I wrote down peppery rum raisin/detergents). Full mouthfeel. Quite a long bitter finish.
