Fullers 1845

Brewed by Fullers
Style: English Strong Ale
London, England

Dark brown, with a thick, tight head that fades to a nice lace down the glass. The aroma is sweet malt and alcohol. From the aroma, I’d peg the alcohol at 9%+ Medium/heavy body, with a sweetness that overrides the subtle malt. Not much bitterness. The finish lingers, due to the sweetness and alcohol.

Aroma: tropical fruits, sweet malt, caramel, slightly hoppy.
Appearance: dark red, almost brown color with a nice white head.
Flavour: malty sweetness, caramel, sweet berries, aromatic flowery hops. Good bitterness.
Palate: smooth, clean, bitter finish.
Overall: an easy-to-drink-beer, with a very good maltiness. As the beer warms up it reveals a nice, flowery bitterness. Feels a bit like a "Barley Wine-light". Fuller’s never fails to impress me, but, honestly, this one took time to understand. Maybe it was a bit too cold first (even though it wasn’t that cold), but i don’t know. I think this is the best beer I’ve had from Fuller’s, even though the ESB and Porter are very good too.

bottle. Aroma of caramel malt, apples, mineral, metallic hops. Dark bourbon red amber hue with a large off-white frothy head that left great lace and mostly lasted. Flavor is smooth caramel malt, apple, some mineral and metal hops on the finish. Palate is lively and medium bodied. Just a gorgeous brew that looked promising but a let down in the end. Metallic hop presence was just too much.

Bottle 20oz: Coming from a mostly wine, bourbon and whiskey world to beer. It amazes me the complexity of the finer beers and how they embody qualities of wine and whiskeys, and the prices are silly affordable. Anywho, another great beer from Fuller’s, although I like the ESB a litter more since this requires more concentration. Aroma is christmas fruit cake - in the good way. Flavor is complex with dried fruits and baking spices with some bittering hops. Alchohol is tingly and finish is long. I’m enjoying this.

Mahogany, fluffy tan head. Nose is raiiny toffee, roasty/dusty malts, dark sugary fruits, a hint of oxidation. Flavor is toffee, rich maltiness. Not quite coffee/cocoa dustiness. Finish is dark fruit, a bit of tingy hop, tobacco.

Bottle at home ... Deep copper ... sweet caramel malt nose ... aain sweet caramel .... quite rich syrupy fruity ... little spice ...little honey... but with a slight metalic hoppy after taste.

From a 500 ml bottle purchased locally, this poured a dark brown, with off white head that held up well, and left good lacing. Nose is caramel malts with hints of fruit and the mouthfeel is rich and creamy. Complex flavors and a long bitter finish. Enjoyable.

This pale ale poured with a foamy off-white head that lasted a while. There is a strong malt aroma and a full-bodied creamy malt flavor with a peppery finish. Very balance and tasty.
