Poured into a nonic. Nice mahogany color with just a little haziness. Beige two finger head settles to a partial ring and leaves some thin lacing.
Toasty cookie-ish malt aroma with some dark fruits and spice. Kind of faint overall.
For a beer billed as a strong ale, there’s really not that much strength in the flavor either. Fresh baked bread and a bit of toffee with a very herbal, tannic hop bitterness, reminiscent of English black tea.
Carbonation is a little high, body is medium. Finish is dry and encourages the next sip. Drinkable but kinda bland.

Mar 17, 2008 This amber beer is really a pleasure to drink. It’s got a delightfully rich palate and a complex flavour which has an abiding fruity sweetness but also butter, hops and spice. Very good indeed, this beer deserves its awards.

Mar 12, 2008 Very good. Well balanced malt and hop. Neither are stand outs, but both are certainly there. One of my favourites from Fullers.

Mar 11, 2008 Pours deep amber with a slight frthy hear that reduces quickly, but lasts. Aroma of toffee and whiskey. Very smooth up front, with notes of roasted malts, toffee and honey. Alcohol presents midway, enfiing in a bitter finish. Very nice beer.

Mar 11, 2008 Stunning colour, purpley mahogany with a lacing head that doesnt give up. Fist smell was cakey, dried fruit, and sticky sweet. Roast malt and nuts flavour with a spicy hop and charred finish, nutty, again, which lingered niceley for a few seconds alcohol evident at the end. Nice and worth the money easily.
