| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 9, 2009 From the bottle, it poured clear rich amber color with fluffy tan head, good retention. Sweet caramel aroma with some alcohol. I get a very bready, pastry crust flavor, some warm roasted bitterness. A delicious English strong. KimJohansen (6806), Copenhagen V, Denmark
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jun 8, 2009 Cloudy reddish amber with medium beige head. Rotten vegetables hit my nose along with some bloody awfull malts. Flavour was sweet with malt, caramel and floral hops. Had some earthiness to it. Mild bitter stuff.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 29, 2009 Poured a dark copper color with minimal white head. Taste is excellent with a slightly fruity aftertaste and smell. This is definitely my favorite English Strong Ale, and one of the best Fullers brews. TaxiDriver (934), Stadland, Germany
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 25, 2009 Rating Nr. 800. Bottle. The aroma is light bitter, light sour and malty, also flowery. The head is small, light beige and creamy with a normal duration. The body is clear, dark red and lively. The first taste and the finish is quite bitter, the middle part is more flowery. The finish is very long. The beer has a normal carbonation with a medium strong body and is dry and creamy. A very nice Ale. Skeegle (479), Maryland, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 23, 2009 What a gem of a beer. Beautiful spicey malt profile thats about as good as any I’ve ever had. Wet bulging over ripe dark fruits balanced out by pepper and earthy notes like nutmeg and hot honey. Tons of flavors floating around in this one, and that soft bouquet of hops thats behind all Fullers beers is very potent in this one. A great beer. nate2g (1073), Brisbane, Australia
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber with a creamy head. Roasted malt, caramel, dried fruit, nuts and earthy hops. The malt is well balanced with a clean hoppy finish. A delicious beer.
