Sweet aroma with dried fruits. Raisins, caramel and a little bit of spice come through on the palate with a very mild hop flavour. The alcohol is noticeable, but not overwhelming. Finish is kind of weak.

This is by far the best Fuller’s I’ve ever had. (Fuller’s night) Mahogany pour wuth an aroma of bread and caramel malts, Flvors of hop, spice, earth, and fruit. A mild wood finish. I liked it.

Ruby red colour with a decent off-white head. Smells very sweet, malts. Tastes very sweet, like bock. Okay but not great. Good carbo, medium body.

annunz123 (211) - Taunton, Massachusetts, USA - OCT 21, 2011
dark fruit and caramel in the aroma. Lots of flavor, with brown bread, caramel, nut, and orange. Dry finish. Really nice beer, but definitely a sipper.

BeerViking (847) - Brentford, Greater London, ENGLAND - OCT 21, 2011
500ml bottle aged a couple of years, pours a deep red-brown with a fizzy off-cream head, citrus hops and a chunk of demerara sugar and burnt caramel on the nose. Crisp on the tongue, then turning juicy and chewy, with a good alcohol bite, lots of dried dark fruit and nut character, and a touch - inevitably - of the typical Fullers dark marmalade. Roasted bitter orange and caramel decorate a finish that is surprisingly dry-bitter for such a full body.

500mL bottle. Pours a brownish-ruby with off-white foamy head. Aroma is cranberry and other dark fruits, some booze, vanilla. Sweet flavor: caramel, dark fruit, some hop presence, alcohol. Noticeable carbonation; dry finish with a lingering taste of apple.
