Fullers 1845

Bottle. Pours a nice red/copper color. Aroma is bready with lots of fruit. Taste is bitter with some bread,caramel and fruity notes.

Bottle, from Charles Street Liquors in Boston. Pours a ruby red with some dark orange, and a large cream head. Attractive. Aroma of hops and fruit. Flavor is full of subtlety, slightly bitter with some soft malt, ripe grapefruit, cherry, and oranges. Finish is creamy smooth, with bitter notes, and the remaining high note of fruit. Mouthfeel is a touch sticky on the finish. Gosh, I am surprised at the similarities in flavor between this and an American IPA. Yes, the smooth palate deviates from AIPA mouthfeel, but hmm, the bitter finish, the fruity body . . . doesn’t matter ‘cause this is a solid brew anyhow.

Hazy ruby, thick lacing beige head. Strong plastic nose, tangy gooseberry hops, little brewing mash. This ain’t right..Strongly hopped, caramel flavor with tobacco and grain, quite stuffy overall. Medium bodied, strongly carbonated mouthfeel. I got the last bottle at my local shop, and it turned out to be out of shape.

Aroma is rich and malty with a smoky, almost stout-like undertone. Color is a clear brown, somewhere between mahogany and dark caramel; head is thin but fine-bubbled. Rich flavor has strong hoppy overtone and strong smoky and nutty hints. Texture is pleasantly smooth. This is one ale for sipping and savoring rather than just gulping.

Pours reddish-brown with an off-white head. Aromas of fruit and caramel - I do get the fruit-cake - it immediately reminded me of that candied fruit stuff. The flavor was roasty and smoky, mostly malt with some fruit notes in there. A nice smooth feel to it with a dry, bitter aftertaste. A solid beer.

this is one damn good beer. hoppy and caramelly. really fresh and refreshing. one of the best beers i have had in a while.

Mahogany colored with an offwhite head. Nice roasty biscuit malt nose with a caramel biscuit taste. A really nice finish.

16.9 oz bottle from.. well, I don’t remember. Pours a deep dark very hazy brownish dark amber color. Big tan bubbly head that is sticking around fairly prominently. Aromas are malty, sweet breads and caramel, very english with a wee touch of chocolatey creaminess with a touch of hoppy bitterness on the back end and a hint of booze. Initial is very malty with a strong bitterness on the back end. Biscuity malts with some sweetness mixed well with the bittering and notes of bitter chocolate mixed in. Very "cakey", as if a bakery put one in the bottle.Very strong malt profile balanced well with the very strong bittering hops. Alcohol is fairly apparent, even if it is only 6.3%. A very interesting beer indeed! Cheers for #200!
