Oct 28, 2001 Updated: Jun 2, 2004yet another rerate of this beer. glowing amber-red, almost pink, with a creamy frothy head. fruit + toffee + goldings smells. taste starts with full, juicy, sweet, buttered-toast malt, then gradually dries up and becomes peppery and bitter, and maybe a bit medicinal. lingering taste of fruitcake with heaps of orange peel. this has a lot of class.

Apr 12, 2003 Updated: Mar 2, 2009An extremely foamy head on this brew.Good amber color.Fruity aroma and very smooth.Great lacing!Has an aftertaste to it after it gets a little warm, but this one I like.I definitely would drink this brew again and again and again!
Re-Rate:Bottle. Poured a medium sized vanilla fizzy head that had poor retention, fast rising carbonation, spotty amounts of lacing, and an orange hue with a golden tint. The aroma was fruity, hoppy, sweet, malty, caramel, alcohol, and rich. The flavor was hoppy, caramel, malty, fruity, and the ABV came through although not overpowering. The mouthfeel was mostly smooth with a tinglyness and the body was light-medium. A well balanced beer with a warming sensation as it warmed up, worthy of a try, and a beer I will drink again if it comes my way.

Aug 5, 2007 Mmmm good. What an English strong should be. Probably just crosses the line from ESB, as it has an undiluted ESB character. Earthy English hops, malty rich aromas and finish. Well balanced and thoroughly enjoyable. Great with a pork chop.

Oct 21, 2004 Wow! The appearance is splendid! It pours an impressive foamy white head and the color is almost ruby! On the label, we can read: Strong Ale. Well the beer is really strong! Alcohol and hoppy bitterness invade the palate at each mouthfull. Then starts a very warming effect and a decent caramel effect.
A very nice beer for fall!

Mar 11, 2004 Spicy aroma. Spicy and sweet mouth watering flavor with a dry after taste. Kind of bitter. Good full palate. Very good beer. Fullers has yet to let me down.

Apr 26, 2004 Updated: Aug 26, 2008Bottle conditioned. heady aroma of pear drops, cinnamon and wet earth; superb frothy head and burnt orange body; sweet fruity creamness gives way to rasping malts. A standard for English strong ale to be judged by.

Sep 17, 2004 Fullers seems to have cornered the market on the whole English Strong Ale brewing. And this one is cetainly worth it’s weight as one of the better Ales. Straight up AMber with a lot of foam. Sweets all around in the drink of candy, toffee, butter, fruit. Buttery and spicy. Awesome!

Sep 2, 2006 Bottle best before 20/jun/06. A decent fermented fruit aroma to this beer. Amber body with large head and good lacing. A rich spicey apple flavor some caramelized body to this one. Dry fruity aftertaste on palate. Another good beer pick out for me by my wife.
