Cloudy reddish amber with medium beige head. Rotten vegetables hit my nose along with some bloody awfull malts. Flavour was sweet with malt, caramel and floral hops. Had some earthiness to it. Mild bitter stuff.

Cask Conditioned
Red-amber color. Light malt aroma, they should work on it...
Great taste, powerful, unexpected; big caramel and malt character, and strong hopping. Strong and long final as well.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2005 Attractive reddish-amber colour with a light tan head. It has a toasty aroma with a hint of caramel, yeasty earthiness and light goldings. The flavour is fairly robust, leaning towards dry malt notes like toast, as well as earthy notes which I find contributed by both the hops and yeast. It’s an earthy, woody brew with some gentle but insistent bitterness. The Fuller’s yeast comes to the fore here, more so than in any of their other beers. Good, robust ale...perhaps not as good as when I first had it (as beer 999 back in 1998) but still solid.

UPDATED: DEC 13, 2011 Bottle.Reddish brown, thick cream head. Good rich malt nose, almost oloroso sherry like, rich flavour with baked raisins and dark fruits with a spiciness that grows towards the finish. Does not drink its strength. Good beer. 848416 4.0./5.0 Re-rate at mass 1845 tasting. Good fruits, fruit peel, some bramley fruit some malt but not as much as before, some woodyness I never got before and a peppery hop finish.

(Bottle) Pours amber-brown color with an impressive white head. Descent spiced aroma. I was looking forward to tasting this beer, but was very disapointed with the flavor. Presented a bitterness that I did not particularly care for...

UPDATED: DEC 5, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a longlasting off-white head. Fruity malty aoma with hints of dark fruit. Fruity malty chocolate flavor with hints of dark fruit. Fruity finish with some hints of dark fruit and a slightly bitter aftertaste.
