Jul 14, 2008 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.

Jul 9, 2008 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.

Jul 6, 2008 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.

Jul 6, 2008 Big deep offwhite shiny lasting head. Dark brown body made hazy by suspended yeast particles. Fruity malty aroma with peppery roasty toffee notes. Deep rich sweet intensely malty fruity taste with roasty peppery toffee and chocolate notes. Dry wooden minty roasty aftertaste with faint hoppy notes. Some sherry/paper notes, probably from oxidization. Long spicy aftertaste of wood creosote. Harmonic and balanced. Lovely! An excellent beer. (0.5l bottle, Systembolaget, Göteborg. BBD 2009-08-14.)

Jul 2, 2008 It was ok. The smell had me a bit worried, as it smelled sickly sweet and of lots of molases. Luckily it didn’t actually taste like its aroma. Overrated beer.
