Deep chestnut colour. Nutty and fruity - dried raisins and spicy also. Very pleasant winter beer.

Robust nutty malt aroma. Clear red color with a large tan head. Mild sweet beginning fading to a light bitter finish. Palate is a little light.

Gorgeous beer, tastes sweet and alcoholic, like christmas pudding with a little brandy. Looks lovely in the glass, deep red-brown with a fluffy white head that lasts.

500 ml bottle. Rated @ 24.2.2010.
Pours a clear reddish brown colour with a creamy head. Fruits, citrus and light hops on the nose. Flavour of malts, fresh hops and raisins. Medium bodied with a pleasant mouthfeel. Good brew.

Bottle. Amber body with a fine head. Taste has dried fruits, nutmeg, oak, nuttiness, orange peel, and even some chocolate. Bitter finish. This has some wine-like qualities. A slow sipper.

bottle. Dated for june 2010, but 2-3 months can’t hurt it too bad. Pours earthy brown color with visible sediment, and tan head. Aroma of plum, pear, honey, toffee, spices, oak, caramel, raisin. Smooth, creamy palate, silky and soft. Full bodied flavor delivers toffee, caramel, and butterscotch, with indeed a somewhat dry finish. I found the fruitiness of the aroma to only be barely detectable in the flavor. There is also an earthy, oaky wood aspect to the taste. Overall very well done, extremely sessionable and drinkable. I have loved every beer I’ve tried from fullers and this one is no exception.
