Jun 1, 2008 Bottle #86447. Beautiful deep amber, nicely lacing off-white head. Caramel malty nose, little grain, citric fruits and flowery hops. Alcohol gets more pronounced when warmer, but nothing too disturbing. Flavor is sweet caramel malts, resin and quite intense hops. Nice balancing seedy citric bitterness. Pretty good strong ale, nice piney & citric hops. I’ll surely try it again in a year or two.

The flavor is sweet matly with notes of over ripe fruit and spices, leading to a dry bitter and woody finish. Not ready yet.

May 19, 2008 bottle #27611 Even this special box isn’t going to make me like this. Now, I love Fullers’ ales, absolutely love bitters too. However, this brew says "I want my face hot" or "I want to feel messed after half a pint." I would far prefer a more complex ale with way less alcohol content, which overpowers it all. I dare anybody to drink 3 of these & prefer it over 3 normal Fuller’s ale. Give me a glass of quality brandy or even wine over this beer. This special edition high alcohol beers brewed just to be "unique" are really trivial.

May 18, 2008 Thanks Presario! 08604 A nice oily amber body with a three finger active head. A few minutes later only lacing remains. Aroma is also nice being full of dark fruit, must, caramel. Flavor is mildly bitter dark fruit and caramel. Just the right amount of hops. Alcohol warmth but not a lot is tasted. Delicious and understated. Very well crafted!
