Jun 5, 2002 Pours a nice dark amber color with a big, off white head. Great sweet, malty nose. Flavor is dominated by a dry, pleasant bitterness, complimenting a slightly fruity, roasty, sweet maltiness. Leaves a clean palate and a desire for more.

Feb 17, 2002 OH MY GOD. This has to be one of the best tasteing beers I have rated so far. As soon as I saw the beautiful amber color slowly make it’s way into my glass, I knew it was going to be love. Excellent beer. If this is what all English Strong Ale’s taste like, then damn, I may have a new fav. Re-rate: Still good, but I have found many more since then.

Apr 2, 2002 Pours a beautiful reddish-brown pint w. a big rocky head. Hops dominate aroma w. some caramel/coffee. Nicely rounded flavor - very well balanced w. sweet maltiness up front and a great hop finish. A classic.

Dec 26, 2002 Pours a dark amber/red color with a medium sized white head that lingers and leaves nice lacings on the glass. Nice fruity malt aroma. Very rich and fruity taste. I really enjoyed this beer. Another great Fuller’s concoction.

Jun 14, 2002 Deep/dark amber-red color. Pours with big foamy head. Medium strength nose of sweet malt. Smooth flavors of semi-sweet malt, fig and honey - accompanied by some bitters. Very mild hopping. Smooth and crisp finish. Nice solid quality ale - a pleasure!

May 25, 2003 Good sweet malty aroma -with a hint of nuts mixed in. Has a thin, mocha colored head which dissipates quickly but has good lacing. Pleasant bourbon like copper red appearance. Flavor - has a little bit of a dopplebok flavor to it. Slightly sweet but not cloying. Gets "chewier" as it warms - detect some nuttiness to it along with raisins and dates. Excellent mouthfeel - just feels right. Classic bottle. Overall - an excellent ale.

Jan 14, 2004 Excellent beer. Foamy, oatmeal colored head leaves thick lacing. Red brown, clear. Nose of apricot, candy sugar, maybe cinnamon. Coats the mouth with light flavors of malt, fruit, milk chocolate, and spice. Finishes with a dry, somewhat woody, hop bite. Very drinkable yet sturdy.

Jan 11, 2004 Rubyish color and a long lasting head. Aroma suggested wood to me. Taste is quite nice: a mix of fruit typical of an English beer, but with a hit of the wood taste one might expect from some Scotches. Malt and hops make their appearances. A wonderful offering from Fullers, and my 200th tasting!
