Bottle, 500ml. A nice clear dark amber colour pour with an average diminishing head. Strong aromas of malt, cirtus and dark fruits. Taste is malty, slightly hoppy and very fruity - there’s also something there I can’t put my finger on. Alcohol is quite noticable. A bitter, fruity finish. Full-bodied. Light carbonation. Very, very nice.

I was impressed with this ale. Nice brown/orange color with an off-white creamy head. Immense malt character with chocolate flavor and a peppery element. Has notes of bitter fruits. The strong hop finish balances the extreme malt charcter. Very enjoyable ale.

I am a huge fullers fan. I have liked every one of there beers. This was no exception. Pours an amber orange color with a small fizzy head. Smells like caramel, some dark fruit, sugar, and a bit of amber malt. Mouth feel is soft and taste is sweet semi spicy and malty. Great beer.

Poured a dark amber color with nice off-white head that dissipated into a thin film atop the beer. Aroma was nice; maltiness that implied fruit, caramel, and spices. Flavor is pretty much the same. Has a nice dry, fruity finish. Very smooth and drinkability is extremely high. Left nice lacing around glass. This is a very nice ale.

Bottle. Poured dark waldhoney brown with lasting white head. Aroma of caramel and malt, very powerful. Full malty flavour with a bit of nutmeg and honey. Spicy fruity finish, with some nut. Looks and tastes like an old ale should.

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!
