Fuller’s 1845

Brewed by Fuller’s
Style: English Strong Ale
London, England

Serve in English pint, Trappist glass

Certainly not an every day ale but awesome nevertheless. Hazy brownish-orange with a healthy and pleasing dose of hops. Chocolate and spices abound on the nose. Similar sensations in the flavor with a rather dry finish. Still one of my favorites.

aNOTHER GOOD fULLER’S BEER. gOOD TASTING BEER BUT THEIR IS SOMETHING MISSING. i JUST DON’T KNOW WHERE IT MIGHT BE!

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2003 I found one of these in a gas station that said "best before sept. 2002" on it. By far the best 1845 I've had. Great appearance with big tan head. Smells of dark fruit and spices. Very malty with little hop presence, but noticeable toasted flavors and caramel, while spices and fruit flavors dominate the finish.

This is fantastic stuff. Rich, flavorful, ale-y fruit-y-ness. A little butterscotch. Hop levels were nice. Serving: Bottle

Complex, caramel, chocolate, nuts, fruits? Enjoyable to drink because of its complexity.

A near-perfect beer. Incredibly full of flavour, bursting with chocolate, coffee and burnt caramel. This is a pioneering brew which Fullers should be proud of, and it has been copied by brewers around the world. A bottle-conditioned craft brew long before such things became fashionable. It is perfectly balanced, with a full dark hop flavour which coats the tongue with rich velvety champagne-like texture. A beer without equal, and for me a desert-island beer which I insist that my corner shop has in stock!

Fruity, bitter and slightly sour. Flavorful and complex without affecting sweetness. A wonderful taste experience!

50cl bottle. Mahogany, beige head. Dark fruit aroma. Fruity bitterness balanced with a slight sweetness, peppery finish. Superb.
