An beautiful clear, dark red colored beer. With a thick beige foamed head. The aroma of roasted malts, caramel, a little coffee, a little chocolate and fruity. The taste of malts, bitter, sweet coffee and light chocolate, dark fruits like raisin. The aftertaste stay for awhile, gentle bitter and dry.

Nice red-orange pour, thick foamy tan head. Mild aroma, sweet, malty, biscuity, some roastedness/chocolate. Very sweet flavor, but not cloying and well balanced by some sublte bitterness. Alcohol is apparent. Mine was too cold, but it’s fairly dry. Very high and doesn’t come back down, if you know what I mean. Lasting bittersweet finish.

16.9oz in bordeaux glass. Amber, low off-white head. Big dried tropical fruit, cookie, molasses, and fig nose. Sweet up front, mellow piney bitter going down. No evidence of bottle conditioning except the printing on the label.

Bottle: Pour is slightly hazy brown with a creamy light tan head. Aroma is malty with a slight touch of floral hops. Flavor is damn smooth with medium malt, slight up front bitterness moving to some nice nutmeg and clove characters. This is a damn fine brew from fullers. Smooth and delicious. Would buy again.

Bottle. Pours a nice red/copper color. Aroma is bready with lots of fruit. Taste is bitter with some bread,caramel and fruity notes.
