4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 jpm30 (1587) - East Central, Georgia, USA - FEB 7, 2006
From a distinctive 1pt. .9oz. shaped Fuller’s brown bottle with a blurb about the ale and a "Best Before" date on the back label, 20/Jun/06. Made an impressive appearance, poured a red hued deep copper with a large frothy pale tan head that slowly reduced to a sticky thin ringed lacing. A tasty fruity and grainy aroma, hints of a musky yeastiness and whiffs of sweet alcohol. Good carbonation and a slick, smooth full bodied mouth feel, excellent drinkability. Had a tasty fruity hoppiness at first, a smooth bitterness, followed by a sweet grainy maltiness, traces of woodiness, a fruity alcohol presence on the tongue and a crisp finish with a lingering nutty yeastiness and alcoholic dry fruitiness in the palate.

Pours a beautiful amber with tight, foamy two finger cream colored head that persists. The nose is rich with caramel, malt, and a doughy influence. Flavor is malty and a bit spicy, with some dried fruit subtly peeking through. The finish is a bit earthy, yet clean and dry.

Pours a fairly transparent brown with a gorgeous frothy head and very nice lacing. Aroma of bitter malt, nut, and hop- subtle, but nice. Flavor is delicious- a tad bit thin, but really smooth. Excellent stuff.

Nice amber colour with a slightly off white head. A combination of earthy hops aroma, baked apples, nutmeg and cinnemon. Full bodied, with lots of different flavors ranging from sweet malt, to red grape, to butter, and perhaps just the slightest hint of coffee. All of the richness of this beer is well balanced by some nice bittering hops. Well done! Thanks radiomgb!

Red orange coloured. Large beige head quickly settles down, some lacing. Caramel and roast aroma. Strong, caramel and roasty taste. Can also smell and taste chocolate in there. Creamy mouthfeel. A great, world class beer.

If you want a beer that tastes like it’s 13% abv but won’t knock you on your ass as much, this is the beer for you.

500 ml bottle. pours brown with a small off white head. aromas are sweet malts but not a lot goin on. flavours are pretty standard caramel malts with almost no hops. mouthfeel was thin. not bad, but overpriced mediocure english ale.
