Fullers 1845

Brewed by Fullers
Style: English Strong Ale
London, England

Deep garnet in color, the head is creamy and beige, the lace covers the glass well. Nose is malt, caramel, slightly sweet. Start is malt sweet, the middle is medium to full, the finish is ’Hop heaven’, dry, acidic and moderate carbonation tops off this ’Most Excellent’ strong English Ale.

yet 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.

Wonderfully balanced with sweet maltiness and fruitcake aromas. It has a rich and full palate with a almost bitter sweet finish. This is not the type of beer that you can have anytime but it goes well at the end of a meal with dried fruits and cheese.

1 pt. 2.6 fl. oz. (Best before: 19 OCT 2005, sampled 4 DEC 2004): hazed copper, with a modest tan foam that leaves sticky lacing all over the pint glass…Sticky alcohol aroma; noticeable sugar coated raisins, toasted grain, mild black pepper, burnt sugar and wet hop flowers. Nicely carbonated as evidenced by the tingling across the tongue and the very retentive cream. Slightly (surprising for me) spicy palate, with flavours ranging from a nicely striking bitterness up front to the long dry finish full of toffee, mashed red apples, hints of orange zest, and sticky honey. This one has breadth and depth. A great range of hop and malt flavour and a depth and complexity few can boast. Wouldn’t it be nice to have this one out of a beer engine?

An 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.

Very spicy hop aroma. Looks really nice in the glass, frothy brown head on top of a sparkling ruby liquid. Good balanced flavors. Balanced hops and malt flavors. Tastes a bit like a stronger version of the Fuller's ESB. An intersting sour and cinnamon flavor develops on the palate after the swallow.

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.

Bottle. Dark amber color with a fine beige head. Malty aroma with some roasted qualities and some spiced fruit. Almost has a bourbon quality in the background. Fruity malt flavors with a spicy bite and a lingering, attention getting bitterness. Does have a little smokiness as well. So many interesting flavors you’d never get bored drinking this. Excellent beer from a top quality brewery-you can’t go wrong with Fuller’s.
