Dec 14, 2006 Updated: Dec 30, 2006Pilllowy tan head sits atop a rich brown pour that is tinted with copper and reddish highlights. The aroma is above average. Hops, sweet malt, spice and dried fruit are quite pleasing. Spice, slight roasted malt and fruit dominate the flavors. The palate is of a medium bodied brew without too much carbonation and a pleasant finish that is hops and alcohol.

Dec 11, 2006 Pours cola colored witha thin white head. Aroma of toffee and slight citrus hop bouquet. Hops up front, followed by a slight roasted malt bitterness. Medium bodied, long finish. Not too much going on with this one.

Dec 7, 2006 Pour is a nice looking chestnut with a large tan head. Aroma is very bready, malty and dark fruits. Flavor is a nice mix of molasses and dark fruit with a little candi sugar in there. Very pleasing to all the beer sences and a nice one to sip on a cold evening.

Dec 1, 2006 This is an incredibly good beer. An aroma of fruit cake spices, raisin bread, chocolate, and toffee. Appearance was a nice, deep chestnut brown/cherrywood red combo with a nice fluffy head. The palate is rich and warming, full-bodied and incredibly smooth. Flavors were a tasty combo of sweet malts, raisin bread, spiced cake, dark chocolate, toffee and cream. Just another great beer from the guys at Fullers. The Brits come thru yet again!

Nov 24, 2006 0.5L bottle. Poured a clear dark copper/mahogany with a frothy, mostly lasting off-white head. Aroma of rich caramel malts, toffee and nuts with some black cherry or plum notes. Off-sweet roasted malt flavor laced with fruity esters and nicely balanced by a prominent hop bitterness which lingers on the finish. Nearly full body with some slight carbonation. A classic and noble British ale for sure.

Nov 23, 2006 500 ml bottle - Pours deep amber with a thin head. The aroma is very malty with some dark fruit notes. The flavor is malty, perhaps lightly roasted, with a good hops balance and coffee notes coming through more in the moderately bitter finish. It reminds me a little bit of a lighter version of the Vintage 2001 I had. The body seems just a touch too watery. This is pretty good. I was worried about it because it has a best before date of Mar 8th, 2004, but it’s held up well.
