Fullers 1845

Brewed by Fullers
Style: English Strong Ale
London, England

Fuller’s 1845 is a pretty clear, reddish brown ale with a dense, yellow elastic head that has great retention and lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet with funky malt and cave-like smells, fresh grain and chocolate. It’s quite full bodied and very smooth with a crisp, dry finish. It has an excellently balanced taste. The flavors are very fused. There’s a touch of roast and a lot of malt that’s not really sweet nor dry. Dried fruit, like prune, is apparent. The aftertaste is slightly bitter with wood resin and juniper. What a classic!

Pours deep red/brown with a nice, very slowly diminishing tan head. Sweet aroma of malt, fruity with notes of caramel and goldings. Medium bodied, with a roasty taste of caramel malt and dark fruits, leaving a long lasting, sweet and bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied, with little carbonation.

Overall:Really enjoyed this. Was surprised with the complexity of the flavor.

Pours a clear mahogany, with a 3 finger chunky, tan head that has great retention. Aroma is caramel, planty hops, fresh grain, cereal grain, fresh red apple, sweet grass, straw, dark fruit, pitted fruit (notably nectarine), a little toast, a hint of citrus potpouri, and lots of earth notes. Flavor is grainy malt, grass, planty hops, dark caramel, some raisin, randomly wooded campfire smoke, sweet tobacco, burnt orange peel, spicy/planty hops, cinnamon, green maple wood, and floral hints. Finsih is bitter hops, roast, light pine, woody and light earthy notes. Palate is medium body and dry from entry through finish with a lighly bubbled, yet sharp carbonation. Really a fantastic beer that (tin my experience, at this point) deserves it’s throne atop the "English Strong Ale" ladder. Great stuff.

medium to dark red with large white head. moderately low carbonation nose of dark crystal malts. flavor starts with mild hop bitterness followed by a noticeable hop flavor then some upper lovibond crystal malts that give it a raison-like flavor, some residual sugar provide some sweetness and depth and some fruity esters. a great beer, not sure what style you would call it, not hoppy enough for a bitter and not malty enough for a barley wine

500ml bottle into pint glass. A red-orange beer with a fluffy beige head providing good lacing down the glass. Noticeably malty nose with notes of dark dried fruits and warming spicy hops. Chewy malt driven palate with a nicely balanced dry fruity hop bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel and thickish texture for the style. A excellent refined bitter well worth seeking out.

clear amber, giant thick light brown head. hoppy and slightly citrussy aroma. sweet, malty, caramelly, slightly dry flavor. sweetness and slight bitternes in the flavor lingers for long after you’ve sipped. very tasty and because of the dry hops, also quite drinkable almost quenching.
