Dec 9, 2007 Bottle picked up at Sainsburys, Kidlington, 0812-07 Pours brown in colour with some ruby highlights topped off with an off white head. Great fruity flavour, bit tangy, bit malty but lovely full flavour, there are nuts there as well and some caramel, really nice beer (suprised that I hadn’t rated this one before)

Nov 27, 2007 Bottle. Chestnut brown with a beige foam. Aromas are nutty and peppery with ribena berries and some earthy hops. Flavours are toffee malts with dry nuttiness. Hoppy and peppery with vinous notes. Warming and bitter on the finish with some herbal aspects. Tastes stronger than its strength.

Nov 23, 2007 Hoppy and spicy (in my notes I simply put it "british"). Malty caramell adds to that. Full bodied. Satifactoring.

Nov 22, 2007 A dark amber, reddish color with a frothy beige head. A hoppy and spicy aroma. Full-bodied malt flavor with some bitterness from the hops. Caramel and hints of nuts in the flavor, even some chocolate coming thru. Leaves a sticky bitter palate. Overall very deep in taste with added freshness from the hops.

Nov 14, 2007 Clear, dark amber with a light off-white head that begins quite thin but quickly dissipates to form circles around the edge of the glass, interspersed with small islands of carbonation. Amazing spicy fruit notes with hints of caramel and a sharp hoppiness. Roasted malt flavours amidst sweet caramel qualities with some of the spice indicated in the aroma coming through. Quite full on the tongue and fills the palate with a mild but long resiny finish from the hops. No forthright complexity, but nicely balance and overall another top Fuller’s brew.
