Pours a dark reddish brown with a thin off-white head with good lace. Aroma of dried fruit and slightly skunky hops (slightly septic?) Wonderful roasty flavour, flavouring hops come in right away and steal the show - very nutty and dry. Slightly skunky, again "septic" flavour, but the crystal malt overcomes any skunkiness in the aftertaste, and it’s nothing but the Goldings and the toffee-nuttiness to finish - very very dry. High carbonation causes a foaming in the mouth, giving it a bit of a cream body. Very nice beer, very very dry. This would be better if fresh, but I’ll try to take that into account. Many thanks to Thaichile for the bottle!

Clear, brown-amber, light tan head leaves some lacing. Aroma is sweet, nutty malts.Caramel, roasted nut flavor, cherry cola. Hop bitterness is not prominent but contributes to a refreshingly dry finish. Very enjoyable ale, maltier than most pale ales but more subtle than many brown ales. Alcohol is not noticeable.

It’s sure to be a busy weekend, as my company gave me Friday off for "March Madness"! I don’t even watch basketball. Label read: Best Before 20/JUN/06 Appearance: Pours out a lovely amber hue with a creamy ivory-colored head. Smell: Ahh. The scent is sharp and lively. Sweet caramel malts AND fruity alcohol esters??! The aroma lineup just improved significantly! Taste: Here’s my take on 1845 (the beer): Initially sweetish, with hints of caramel and butterscotch. Also, it’s got some notable biscuit flavors. Plus, it’s got some fruitiness (cherries, for me)! Doubleplus, there’s some spicy, bitter hops in the finish. All in all, there’s alot going for this beer and alot going on IN this beer. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. The mouthfeel is both sparkling and creamy. Drinkability: Pretty decent. All this and more in....a bottle of Fuller’s 1845!!!

bottle. color is a beautiful shade of orange red. the head is pillowy, off white, and about two fingers tall. fantastic caramel aroma. palate is rich and succulent. this beer is rich and complex with lots of layers of malt sweetness revealing notes of caramel, brown sugar, and some faint coffee flavor with the perfect amount of hop bitterness rounding out the flavor. one of the best english ales i’ve tasted.

A caramel aroma, not overly malty. A fine brown body and a tan head. Flavour is an easy fruity, hoppy infusion. Smooth on the palate, with a dry finish. Really rather good.

Tried at Pizza Port’s Real Ale festival on cask. Nice malty aroma. Nice color. Above average beer I like it. I’ve seen it at the stores for a while, but this is the first time I’ve tried it. Rerate: 4/11/08. Nice malty aroma. Easy to drink everyday beer. Exact same rating.
