IPFreely (1471) - Sanborn, New York, USA - DEC 18, 2004
Chestnut color, frothy tan head. Full aroma of caramel, nuts, raisins, toasty malt, and cake. Nice flavor, finishes with some spicy hops. Extremely drinkable, full, but smooth and soft palate. I could drink this all day.

daboskabouter (1470) - Fergus, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 20, 2004
Slightly hazed ruby red appearance with a nice frothy off-white head. The nose is fresh and fruity with hints of raisin. Malt seeps through in front of a subdued English hoppiness. Very nice aroma indeed. The body is immediately malt, thick and juicy with just the right amount of sweetness. A perfect blend of malt and hops, wherein the hops can’t seem to be distinguishable away from the malt. Long, fruity, bitter-sweet strong ale. Very, very good.

joeycapps (1467) - Waterdown, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 17, 2004
Dark amber. Soft, finger of light beige foam. Excellent lace. Toasty, chocolately aroma w/ a spritzy orange fruitiness. Thick, buttery feel. Toasty flavour of chocolate, caramel, licorice, & molasses. Some burnt spiciness & a very dry finish.

Dixen (1465) - Flagstaff, Arizona, USA - MAY 2, 2004
Dark brown to reddish body, with a good looking off-white head on top. Lots of fruits and malts in the nose, the aroma is kind of ’dark’. The flavor is very nice, big malts with a touch of alcohol, and then a good shot of hops to balance the taste. I would call this beer Fullers Vintage 1999 Light, cause basically the vintage is just a souped up 1845, but its nice...

Slipstream (1465) - USA - SEP 10, 2009
Nice label. Dark amber pour. Yeast and malt aroma. 1845 is a well balanced and flavorful English ale. English hops and yeast are front and center. The finish is sweet and hoppy. Another nice brew from Fuller.

A nice red beer with a frothy white head. Aroma is of fresh wheat and sweet popcorn. A nice crispness comes from the hops, which are perhaps a bit overpowering. Nevertheless, this one easy drinking beer.

A brown style ale that is superb to drink. There is a good flavor of malt, but it is so smooth. Started off doughy, but the hops came in on the back end to balance it out. I’m going to find another one of this.
