Standard English ale appearence with chocolate and coffee hints in the aroma and flavour. The beer is good but is slightly over bitter for my taste at times.

It’s sure to be a busy weekend, as my company gave me Friday off for "March Madness"! I don’t even watch basketball. Label read: Best Before 20/JUN/06 Appearance: Pours out a lovely amber hue with a creamy ivory-colored head. Smell: Ahh. The scent is sharp and lively. Sweet caramel malts AND fruity alcohol esters??! The aroma lineup just improved significantly! Taste: Here’s my take on 1845 (the beer): Initially sweetish, with hints of caramel and butterscotch. Also, it’s got some notable biscuit flavors. Plus, it’s got some fruitiness (cherries, for me)! Doubleplus, there’s some spicy, bitter hops in the finish. All in all, there’s alot going for this beer and alot going on IN this beer. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. The mouthfeel is both sparkling and creamy. Drinkability: Pretty decent. All this and more in....a bottle of Fuller’s 1845!!!

Cockney Pub, Aarhus, DK. Bottled, 230809. Amber with off-white head. Aroma of malt, yeast and dried fruit. Flavor is caramel, hop spice and red berries.

UPDATED: SEP 6, 2007 Bottle. Clear copper red with a thick head that disappears slowly. Aroma is rich fruity malty with a slightly roasted touch and some spicy and earthy hops. Quite dry with a light sweetness and a firm and long bitterness. Lovely!

The best thing about this beer is the finish; dry hoppiness and a slight, malty sweetness. Great appearance and smooth going down the old gullet. Good stuff.

Amber colour with a small orange shortlasting head. Full body and lots of taste. A bit to bitter for my taste, but almost balanced

Bottle pour from Pound and Pence. Reminded me of a light barleywine. A sweet, malty aroma gives way to a nicely balanced malt character with strong, darkly fruity notes and a touch of hop bitterness on the tail. Medium in body and nicely carbonated. Not a sessioner - unless you’re pretty hardcore. Tasty and a dynamic beer.

In the bottle on 11/13/09. Pours orange with a medium thick off-white head. This is a fairly pedestrian beer. It has a medium hop finish. The flavor has mild caramel and toffee notes. It’s ok but nothing special. In fact, I think the regular Fullers ESB is a much better beer.
