3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A very warm and spicy beer with a long bitter aftertaste. I drank this in the sun on a hot Danish summerday (almost 25 celsius). Probably not the best time to try it.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Faint aroma, light grassy, hints of prune and other dried fruits. Brown color, beige head, good lace. Burnt caramel, herbal, well hopped, very bitter (almost nasty bitter), dry finish. Easy drinking, not bad but not too complex.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Brilliant dark copper color with a lasting two finger beige head. Nice lace. Dry caramal and malt nose that tend to get fruitier as it warms. Smooth feel with deep malt flavors. Toasty, with a light citric hops finish. A very satisfying ale.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Amber brown color and tan head. Malty and fruity aroma. Nice balance between malts and hops, a little sweet. Finish is somewhat dry but that's okay. Among Fullers better offerings. God how I love bottled conditioned ales (next to getting a great cask conditioned).

UPDATED: AUG 24, 2005 Bottle (500ml). Nice dark amber pour, "stately" is how I think of this beer. Good blend of bitterness and maltiness, spicy and lively too. Bottle-conditioned, each bottle is better than the last. When my 13 remaining bottles are gone I will be sad and hope for its return.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: NOV 18, 2009 16.9 ounce bottle from WIne Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear red color with a large frothy head. Good retention and lacing. Aroma of grain, nuts, caramel and tart fruit notes. Taste is bitter hops, caramel, grain, nuts. Medium bodied.
