Oct 6, 2007 Definitely will benefit from some time, but all of the elements that make these great are there- lovely malt character, just a bit hot right now.

Dec 25, 2007 Updated: Oct 17, 2008Bottle(122918) from BevMo. Fairly dark amber color upon pouring. Slightly sweet aroma of malts and breadiness. Flavor is dominated by old fruit up front and is somewhat vinous. Full flavored. Doesn’t seem as hot as last year at this time.

Nov 16, 2007 Bottle. #143650 Copper/amber beer with a nice off-white head. Sweet, earthy, malty aroma. Sweet, caramel, malt, citrus, earthy flavor. Medium body. Lingering caramel/toffee with some stone fruit and citrus/earthy hops. Nice balance. Time will mellow the sweetness, but it’s very drinkable right now.

May 16, 2009 Bottle 137746 from Riverside Red X, sampled in May 2009. The body was hazy medium copper with a dense light tan head. Vinous notes up front in the nose with some toffee and a little bit of apple. The taste has some lightly salty leather notes with toffee sweetness in the back of the throat. The carbonation is still fairly lively and you get a little bit of black pepper, but it is light, in the finish. A nice and interesting brew that is lighter and more refreshing than I would have expected for the abv.

Dec 22, 2007 when I think of English strong ales, I think of Fullers 1845 and of the Fullers Vintage series. This series ages so well that starting in 2004 I began cellaring 4-5 bottles of each vntage. This is a premium beer now. But I’ll be rating it again in a few years!
