Brewed by Fullers
Style: English Strong Ale
London, England

Finally found one in date, 21st November 2007, finally! Fantastic nose; nutty and coffee-like roasted malts, cooked apple, sherry, spice, alcohol, nice and big. Pours a cleanish bronze body with a billowing offwhite head. Big lengthy palate, clinging to mouth, slight sourness which is strangly welcome. Rich flavour, plenty of coffee and nutty malts with some toffee sweetness, notes of port, Delicious apple, plum, dried fruits. Early sweetness is balanced with a lingering, dry, moderately high bitter finish, with a good amount of resiny, grassy hop flavour. An unbelievablely good English ale, a definate stand out, which was somehow unremarkable last time i tried it! Highly recommended!

pours a very dark apple cider with a one finger dark cream color bubbly and fluffy head. aroma is roasted caramel malt with an apple aroma. has a medium to full body with great lacing and good carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger. has a somewhat strong bite from the hops and some pine. also has a dry hop aftertaste, a little bit thin in the middle but the end kicks in full throttle. a very well made ale and i noticed it is a little sticky as well.

Clear copper with a bubbly white head. Deep aroma of malt, cookie dough, sherry, leather, and spice. Velvet mouthfeel. Toffee and molasses up front with the caramel malt colese behind. Coffee and crystal malt in the middle, with a nice bitter finish.

Bottle dated bast before 08/MAY/08. I’ve passed this beer over many times before because I didn’t like the date on the bottle. I was shocked to find one that still had a year left on it. Poured into an English pint. Dark copper amber with a big, everlasting, off white head. Nice cookie, or bready malt, quite a bit if ripe fruit esters, and a slight earthy hop nose. Sort of a cracker flavor, with some earthy-gritty-mushroom flavor. Very rich, full palate, with a dry finish. Really nice beer. A pure pleasure to drink.

Malt through and through on this one and more of a hop aroma than I was expecting. Now that I try it and let the flavours come out, much more hop character than I was really prepared for. Surprising and pleasant. Has the typical Fuller’s house flavour in the choice of malt and hops aroma’s. If you’re familiar with their porter and enjoyed it, this seems to be of similar fare.

Dark amber. Nose like a good whisky; sherry, fruits, malts and maybe even smoke or tar? Full rich taste and ok mouthfeel. Not too foamy or sparkly. Medium to high bitterness, which is cut with some sweetness. Very nice indeed.

Bottle. Amber reddish colour with a tan head. Aroma of boiled vegetables, mostly cauliflower. Malty bitter flavour with a long finish. I wonder if this bottle was healthy, will try it again later...

delicious aroma of dark fruit and oranges, with a slight roasted acicic coffee undertone. brown with an orange tint. small dissapering head with light lace. medium light body with a low efferesence. nice metallic roasted bitterness hits you first off then chocalate figgy orange and spice and a bitter creaminess lasts in the mouth. beautiful, balanced, a truly amazing english strong
