3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
500 ml. brown bottle. Part of a vertical tasting held for my close friends.
Still awesome! 6 years old, and just hitting it’s stride. Tasty beer. Deep copper color, white head. Mostly malts in the flavors of this year’s batch, some hops in the background. It still needs a little aging though.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle @ Akkurat, Stockholm. Vertical tasting -97, -00, 02 and -03 with official representatives from the brewery. 3rd one ever held by Fuller’s
In addition to the commersial description First Gold hops were also used, as per Fuller’s head brewer. This is definately more developed than -03. Still, though, has potential for more. Bread, toffee. Soft (don’t want to use the sm**th-word). Quite malty for a vintage beer.

Bottle. Reddish brown with mostly diminishing light brown head. Dried fruits and some bitter chocolate in the aroma. Slightly sweet malt and more chocolate in the flavor. Rather oily on the palate. Beautifull strong ale.
