500cc comprada en Jumbo Copiapó. Servida en un vaso English Pint. Hermosa cerveza de color ambar, clara y brillante, con espuma levemente tostada que desaparece rápidamente. En nariz es bastante escurridiza y débil, sin notas de lúpulo y sólo algunas notas de complejidad a cera de abeja y algo de madera. En boca se aconseja dejarla reposar y entregar todos sus sabores... no es para tragar rapidamente ya que se pierde mucho de la experiencia. Notas claras de coñac o aguardiante en barrica, más alcoholica que amarga o dulce. A pesar de lo "fuerte" o alcoholica (8,5%) su cuerpo es medio a leve y su final es sólo alcoholico. Carbonatación nula a los pocos segundos tanto a la vista como en boca. Es para tomar sola o con un buen puro cubano. En general no me gustó mucho... si la experiencia que quisiera es como está cerveza, preferiería un pisco añejado en las rocas.

A clear red/amber with small head. Aroma is a lovely mix of bread and a floral tang - a great sniff! With the taste, the bitterness comes through more than the sweet malt, but work together well and are both present in the finish. The body is quite light, but not watery and carbonation is present. Overall I would say this is a well balanced and wonderfully tasty brew.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before 18 Dec 09, drank on a cold semi-sunny Sunday afternoon in Nov 09. Poured into a bateman’s branded UK pint sleeve. Looked good, a creamy coloured foaming head sat on top of a dark mahogany, clear body. Toasted malts and rich molasses hit my nose, toffee and treacle but without a sweetness, more a prosperous, well-healed, confident air about it. In short, it smells like a rich persons tipple. That richness carries on into the flavours, very oak wood rather than plywood, delicious, sumptuous and very moorish. I almost forgot it is 8.5%ABV, no wonder it tasted so full, warming and luxurious. There are few beers in the world better than a well made English Strong Ale and this is up there with the best, I take my hat off to Fuller’s, this is one well crafted beer and well worth the extra couple of pence I paid for it.

Dark amber colour with small head. Aroma is caramel, dried fruits. Flavour is nuts, caramel, bittersweer finish.

Gedronken bij dutchdrebus samen met benzai. Bruin helder bier. Zoet caramel maar toch is het net niet.

50cl bottle shared with Dutchdrebus and Ansjelaah. Slightly unclear amber color, medium sized off-white head. Smell malts and lightly caramel. Taste malts, caramel, slightly hops, some bitter. Soft carbo, medium body.

Bottle thx to benzai who’s at the toilet at the moment. Clear copper colour with a small white head. Smells caramel, hay, barnyard, boiling malts. Tastes heavy malty, caramel, some hops. Okay carbo, full body.

Goldings hops and Golden Promise malt. At 8.5% ABV, Golden Pride guarantees a superb range of flavours, that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning of palates

pours amber with a white head. aroma is fruity, with caramel and hops. taste is sweet, well balanced, alcohol, citrus, and oranges. its has a resinous herbal quality, and a good bitterness. strong, intense, and tasty.

Very nice brew. Pours a thick dark amber colour, dense head wich doesnt faint very quickly. This Ale is one of a kind, there is alot going on there that reminds me of a strong belgian ale style, this is a cleaner and more refined brew, wich leaves it more predictable and the consistancy is there aswell, I have bought about 12-14 bottles a years time and its always the same. Do not hesitate to invest in this brew.
