May 13, 2001 I’m slowly warming up to English ales, due to fantastic brews like this example of an English Strong Ale. Aroma and flavor is of warm bread, with some nuttiness and fruit coming through, finishing with a nice long, dry, roasty taste/feel. Highly recommended.

Mar 28, 2003 Garnet in color with a nice foamy head. Complex taste of caramel malt, spices, and some fruitiness toward the finish, very nice

Nov 25, 2002 Updated: Nov 3, 2005A really nice beer with tantalizing complexity. Subtle hops and very nicely balanced with fruity malt and spice flavors. Despite bottle-conditioning and above average ABV, freshness is crucial with this one. A fresh bottle is exquisite. I’ve had some older bottles that were lackluster.

Dec 26, 2004 bottle...garnet pour with a thin white head. Malty, fruity aroma. Raisins, some alcohol, cardamom. Roasty malt to start, leading to some sweetness and fruitiness in the middle. The end is very nice with some hoppiness and a lasting choco-type roastiness. This is a very nice beer, rivals Lake Placid Ubu, in my mind as a very good English Strong Ale. Thanks to my Secret Santa for this treat!

Mar 29, 2005 Bottle from Coal Train’s in CO Springs. Pours a deep reddish-amber with a nice beige head that dissipates slowly. Nice malty nose...fruity...caramelish..with just enough of a hop note to keep things right. Taste is all about the malts...toasty, and some light fruitiness, maybe a buttery edge too. My favorite Fullers ale to be certain. Nice bitterness in the end. I could drink this anytime.

Apr 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark, semi translucent amber color with nice semi thick head with good retention. Aroma of dark roast, hops, with very slight floral, slight apple. Flavow VERY nice. Strong roast malt and maple flavor with great balanced hop bitterness to off set sweetness, and almost taste as if it was in a bourbon oak cask, but it says bottle conditioned on the label, I swear I taste wood tannins though with slight bourbon.. has slight alcohole spiceMedium carbonation with medium-full body. Great beer!, one to enjoy.
