Aroma – Rich malt aroma with a hint of hops.
Appearance – Amber in color, Clear with a Nice fluffy head.
Flavor – A good easy drinking beer the malts and hops where light in flavor.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, good texture with a dry finish.
Overall – A decent Strong English beer this was needing more hops and to be even more bitter this was a tad under the radar as being real good. Maybe a lot better off the keg.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Very matly fruity aroma, almost fruit punch-like aroma. Some caramel in the nose as well. Pours a nice transparent reddish-orange with a small tan head that has a fair amount of retention. Taste is sweet and malty, fruity, some caramel, and a little hops. Finishes with a little bitterness. Leaves a moderate sweet and very slightly bitter taste. Great balance. Very good beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle: Poured a clear dark brown ale with minimum head. Aroma is very malty with some roastiness also noticeable. Taste is what I’m always looking in a bitter (even though this isn’t one per say) but can rarely find. i.e. sharp bitterness mixed with some roasted malts. The alcohol, even thought not noticeable at first, gives it a great feeling. Probably one of the best Fullers apart from the vintage series.

3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Gorgeous ruby pour. I don’t use the word gorgeous lightly, and it most certain applies in this case. Heavy smell. Loads of plum, fig and raisins on the nose. Some sweet notes of grape juice as well. Lovely. Dry mouthfeel that carries a chalky taste of dark fruit. Has a dried fruit taste, as of freeze dried fruit and trail mix. After taste has a little taste of roasted malt but not much. This is pretty good.
