COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Seasonal - Winter and Spring.
Smooth and satisfying, this example of an historic style of beer derives its rich, chocolatey character from a blend of Brown and Chocolate malts in the brew. Its notable coffee notes and creamy finish make it a wonderful accompaniment to many sweet foods – especially chocolate pudding. 5.4% ABV.

NOTE: Most Fuller’s beer in the US is served by handpump kegs and not a cask. Ask your server.

Labove (413) - Rome, ITALY - JUL 12, 2012
Un po’ sporca al naso, caffè e un aroma sanguigno-metallico poco attraente. Di facile beva ma non acquosa, è questo il suo maggior pregio.

Pours very dark with a little reddish tinge. Thick off white head. Smells of roasted malt and chocolate. Hint of coffee and caramel in the taste, sweet chocolate and roasted malts being very prominent. Goes down very quickly, fantastic beer.

BobbySolo (27) - - APR 10, 2012
A powerful traditional smelling aroma, with an amazing thickened head. This beer is a knockout in a foggy back alley. A thinner body than the appearance would indicate but full of chocolate coffee and vanilla notes.
