Style: English Strong Ale
London, England

Serve in English pint, Trappist glass

Pour a ruby red color with a off white head.The aroma is kind of a molasses sent.The flavors are of a blance of sweet malt and bitter hops.The aftertaste is a nice bitterness.Overall a fine ale.

0,5 L bottle. At first aroma is vanilla and a little eggy/skunky but tones down after a while. Not that great. Looks great with bourgogny color and tan head. Flavor is a lot better then the aroma. Floral bitterness that lingers and give room for dried fruit, caramel, butterscotch and vanilla. Body could be fuller. Still a good English strong ale.

Dry toffee biscuit malt aroma. Dark reddish brown colour. Big roasted malt flavour. Goes down quite well. Not bad but a bit strong for me.

Reddish brown with a beige head that lingers pretty well. Aroma of hazelnuts, dried fruits, toffee, amaretto liqueur, tawny port, Pedro Ximenez and amontillado sherry, sweetshop spices and grass. Taste is sweet with dried fruits, caramel and nuts. A touch of roasted malt and chocolate. Pretty complex malts here. Almost enough balancing bitterness leads to a dryish finish with some earthiness. Very good indeed, but a pint is too much for me - it’s really rather rich.

Bottle 50cl. Amber brown beer with nice head and good lacing. Smell is caramel and malty. Aroma is amasing on roasted, caramel, malty and chocolate, very long and nice flavor, heavy bitterness on the finish that goes well with an agrume hops character. Quite sweet very creamy, a great beer off course, a good experience, very nice specially the dark chocolate note.

Pours a reddened amber with a big off white to yellow head, which dissipates quickly. Not much lacing; forms a ring round the glass. Aroma is woody, hoppy and tart. There is an earthen presence due to the yeast, but this is not much pronounced. Beer is slightly oily in the mouth, but quite thin. Taste is traditional Fuller’s, malty orange marmalade bitterness, grassy hops, bready with a light alcohol presence. Finish is a slow bittering that cleans the palate. This sits between ESB and Golden Pride, or the Vintage beers. Goes well with a roast. It’s nothing flashy, just a a solid beer.

Tall billowy head. Tan brown. Nutty, toasty aroma. Very malty flavor- coffee, walnut, chocolate. Lightly spicy-tea notes and earth in the finish which lingers very nicely. Impressive ESA.

Bottle from Scotland, thanks Graeme! Pours deep dark clear copper with a big creamy tan head. Aroma of dark fruits and caramel. Taste of raisins, dark roasted malts, maybe some nuts. The alcohol is well hidden, although noticeable . Medium body with minimal carbonation. Nice deep malty aftertaste. Me like.
