Style: English Strong Ale

Bottle. Poured dark waldhoney brown with lasting white head. Aroma of caramel and malt, very powerful. Full malty flavour with a bit of nutmeg and honey. Spicy fruity finish, with some nut. Looks and tastes like an old ale should.

Beautiful clear mahogany with a thick beige head. Aroma of caramel, butterscotch, toffee, dark fruits, apple, bread and alcohol. The flavor offers more of the same along with toasted malt, molasses, spiciness, a big dose of bitter hops, raisins and plums. Bitter hoppy aftertaste with a slightly burnt tinge. Very full, round and creamy on the palate with lively carbonation. Great lacing and AWESOME, thick head retention. Great stuff.

500ml bottle. Dark copper rusty vcolour with a deep thick dense beige cap of foam. Aromas of malt and spiced fruit tantalise the nose. Strong flavour with a medium bitterness and a strong bitter acrid aftertatse that isn’t unpleasant.

1845 is an interesting English Strong Ale from Fuller’s. Poured brick red medium body with thin white head. Roasted chocolate malt flavors blend with sweet fruit, caramel, and butterscotch. I believe my bottle was on the "stale" side and would like to try one with a 2007 expiration date to compare flavors.

pours a nice amber colour with a nice foamy tan head. Has a nice malty taste not common to English ales. A mild hoppiness and aroma. I really enjoyed this beer.

Bottle. Pours amber with a creamy head. Roasted malt, caramel, dried fruit, nuts and earthy hops. The malt is well balanced with a clean hoppy finish. A delicious beer.

Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of roasted and nutty, moderate herb note for the hops, light dough for the yeast, with brown sugar in the background. Head is frothy, off-white, with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is slightly hazy red/brown. Flavor is lightly sweet and acidic to start, then finishes lightly sweet and acidic, and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, creamy with a soft, verging on lively carbonation. It finishes lightly astringent and aloholic. A great balance in flavors. This is probably the best English beer I’ve had.

Pours brick red with a beige head. Looks amazing in the glass. Fruit, sweet malts, some caramel, toasty, some whiskey, oak, and light spicing. Medium, smooth body. Flavor is full of spices, caramel, toasty malts, dark fruits, alcohol, and light roasted malts. Finish is somewhat bitter with alcohol noticeable. Very drinkable even at 6.3%. Fantastic.
