Jan 15, 2004 Huge head of fine bubbles. Creamy on top and light tan in color. Roasty aroma of fresh, crusty bread, a hint of coffee and a slight hops nose that becomes more prominent as the beer warms. Color is a nice deep reddish orange. Wow. This stuff is incredibly easy to drink. Goes down smooth and makes you beg for more. Flavor is roasty with a good helping of malt, a touch of fruit and a bit of alcohol. Finish is creamy and smooth with a slight hops bitterness and a nice alcohol warming. A very well balanced brew that is way to easy to drink for the 6+ % alcohol.

Aug 8, 2002 Such a perfect example of the style. I agree with Kevin that the malt shines here, without as much of the thick sweetness as in the Vintage 1999. Here the drawback might be the palate is a tad thin. Wonderful long lingering malty finish, alcohol burns so slightly, aroma is heaven with a slice of spiced rum fruitcake. Real real good. Beautiful presentation.

Aug 26, 2006 Best before 20 June 06. Pours deep brown into an English pint. Micro head with excellent staying power leaves significant lacing as it slowly recedes. Dried fruit and nutmeg notes. Creamy raisin and date up front with a lasting bitter spice finish.

Jul 12, 2004 Bottle. Dark brown amber body with loose beige head. Nose is woody with a caramel flavor. The taste is slightly bitter with a light alcohol bite. The overall flavor is very woody and nutty. The finish is very smooth with just a little hint of wood. This may be the worlds bet session beer. Great beer.

Nov 30, 2004 Garnet body with tan head. Very malty nose, caramel. A full feel in the mouth. Robust. You know you’re drinking something. The flavor is malt, nice sweet maltiness. I don’t get the "fruit cake" promised, and I’m one of those people who actually likes fruit cake. But this is a good English ale.

Aug 27, 2008 500ml from Rodman’s, D.C. A younger cousin of the Fullers Vintage is my basic impression of this one. A full bodied amber pour, the nose is big and spicy with some lush caramel malts in there as well. Very nice smooth palate, with mellow malts, not too sweet at all.

Sep 8, 2009 English like flavor with this beer with the water and the grassy hops and the toffee like malts that pattern all around it. strong flavor. funky aftertaste that does work but the rest is wonderful.
