Pours reddish brown with an uneven, pillowy, offwhite head. Head is long lasting with good lacing. Taste is caramel, malty upfront with a superb, long lasting dry finish. Drinkable, subtle, and immaculate.

Bottle.Deep amber with lasting tan head. Sweet and spicey wild honey aroma. Smooth with many solid flavours of xmas pudding, dark chololate and nutmeg. Captivating and sensational beer. Like it very much. Went back to shop and bought three more.

Wonderful full flavor beer, I have found even commercial drinkers of beer like this when I serve it to them - just fresh and lovely.

UPDATED: NOV 18, 2011 Pours a perfect, beautiful clear red with a foamy, yet creamy, two finger tan head. Aroma is not very strong, but it is good. Lots of savory, malty, biscuit smells, as well as a good herby hop smell. Taste is a very complex of malts, with lots of buttery biscuit flavors, and then the beer finishes with a nice hop bite to clean everything out. The drinkability of this beer is absolutely insane. You can polish off a whole bottle in what seems like only a few sips. This is a very, very, very good beer.

Pours an orangish-reddish brown with half inch head that disappates quickly but leaves a nice layer of small bubbles on top. Smells of caramel, nuts, and toffee. I can already tell this is going to be a European-style malt bomb. Taste is distinctly nutty, biscuity, caramelly and sweet. I detect the slightest hint of chocolate--delicious. Hops are very mild and earthy. On the palate this brew really shines-- full, creamy body for a 6.3% ale. Mild carbonation and a lightly bitter finish. GREAT brew.

UPDATED: OCT 25, 2011 This is a delicious, sweet, malty treat. The aroma is too sweet, alcoholic, and even ripe at first, making for a rather mixed first impression, but as it mellows out with temperature, it gets sweeter in a much more elegant and complex kind of way, with dried fruits, nuts and loads of caramel coming out, and the malt backbone taking more of a supporting role. The beer pours a beautiful brown and develops a medium head, but it doesn’t keep it for too long. The taste is wonderful, with the bread character of the malts really coming through. There’s also a nice bouquet of dark fruits and some nice but unexpected floral hops. It is full-bodied and elegantly carbonated. To me this is beer is an utter pleasure; everything about it exudes class. I could see how it may be too sweet for some (if not most) people, but it is a favorite of mine. Excellent.

Much better than their ESB, this 1845 is absolutely amazing! One of the most flavorful strong ales that I have had in quite a long time! It has a nice warming effect from the alcohol as you savor this brew. Call me ’strange’ but this would be perfect (for me at least) paired up with some rum cake or a delicious fruit cake!
