Aug 14, 2005 Attractive pouring dark copper color with a nice beige colored head that is slowly dissipating. Aroma is somewhat benighn, but does possess some redeeming qualities of carmalized sugar, and a definite dry British hoppiness that so many bitter possess. Very faint hint of bottle conditioned maturity. Flavor is nicely malty with moderate sweetness and just a touch of bitterness for balance. The defining quality of this ale, for me is a super soft, velvety palate that is a joy in the mouth. This does not make up for its lack of flavor, however.

Aug 2, 2005 Big, big, big malt aroma. Crystal clear with an off white head. Very pretty beer. Again big malt flavor with a touch of bitterness. There are some flavor hops in the middle that I don’t care for. Very nice palate. Fuller bodied. Maybe a touch too much carbonation. This is by far the best Fuller’s beer I have ever drank.

Jul 17, 2005 Bottle # 47012 Pours a clear rich amber colour with a thick tan head. Aromas of malt, brown sugar, caramel apple and some alcohol. Good tasting brew with notes of caramel, malt, brown sugar, and some alcohol. Has a good bitter hop finish. This was a good beer and I can’t wait to see how it ages.

Jul 16, 2005 Golden brown and very deceptive.Quite malty with a deep flavour that hits your throat when you least expect it.Its only when you look at the bottle that you realise that this is a seriousy strong ale. If you have got to destroy a few brain cells this is the way to do it!

Jul 11, 2005 Thanks to DYCsoccer for this. Aroma is brown sugar, very buttery butterscotch, cotton candy, plums, juicy malt. Enticing ruby body with a slightly thin soft head. Flavor has lots of caramel up front, light butterscotch, plum, earthy hops. A slightly bocky rich caramel finish with a bit of alcohol. Smooth & creamy body, pleasantly warming. Very nice!
