Clear copper with a bubbly white head. Deep aroma of malt, cookie dough, sherry, leather, and spice. Velvet mouthfeel. Toffee and molasses up front with the caramel malt colese behind. Coffee and crystal malt in the middle, with a nice bitter finish.

This is just another reason to LOVE Fuller’s!!! This delicous tasty dark beer has amazing tastes that can only be tasted to be given justice, try it and smile!

Pours an clear amber with some white frothy head. No floaties, despite being bottle conditioned. Flavor is English malt, with notes of leather, mesquite, hickory and tannins. The nose is less hoppy and more dry malty. It finishes on a dry, biscuity notes.

awesome strong pale ale. good accentuation of flavors and complex hop usage.

500ml bottle conditioned ale bought at the great St Albans Beer Festival 2005 (going back there this year). The beer has a deep mahogany colour topped with a medium lasting off-white, thick head. Inviting sweet aroma of caramel malt. Full bodied. Rich flavours of dried fruit, hops and roasted malt. Solid bitterness in a lingering aftertaste. Very tasty after more than nine months in the cellar.

Bottle. Smells strongly of toast malt with chocolate and faint yeast. Rich, deep amber pour with lively carbonation and a full, large, thick, lacing, immobile tan head – one of the prettier beers of the year. Taste: toast and a gentle fruitiness that really tacks on the bonus points, coffee, chocolate, caramel, dark earthiness, light yeastiness, light wood, nuts. Classy, restrained bitterness and a firm mouthfeel, but not overly crisp. Full dry body, hearty undercurrents of flavor, tons of malt. Touch of warming from the otherwise undetectable alcohol. Could probably drink a keg of this stuff. Long, dry aftertaste contains light bitterness and all the best notes of caramel, toast, earthy chocolate, etc. Light hops in the finish, but they’re slight. Balanced, rounded, complex, refined…simply lovely, simply world class!

Poured a dark amber color with nice off-white head that dissipated into a thin film atop the beer. Aroma was nice; maltiness that implied fruit, caramel, and spices. Flavor is pretty much the same. Has a nice dry, fruity finish. Very smooth and drinkability is extremely high. Left nice lacing around glass. This is a very nice 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.
