Apr 25, 2007 Bottle, poured a darkish copper with an off-white bubbly head. Aroma was fruity and malty. A light smooth mouthfeel, warming malt flavours with a fruitiness in the background. Easy to drink and enjoyable.

Nov 20, 2005 500ml bottle from Sainsburys. Chestnut colour wth thin beige head. Brown sugar, raisins and toffee on the aroma, which I quite liked. Good hops as well. Toffee dominates throughout. Smooth i mouth with toffee hop on end. Fine, quite drinkable and I quite like Fullers bottled beers especially the stronger ones

Nov 5, 2005 A sessioin beer. Goof looking clear red beer with a small but creamy tan head than vanishes, leaving little lacing. Toasted malts and adequate hoppiness, but thin in the mouth and not a great deal of character. These are the guys who make 1845 abd a thoroughly amazing vintage ale, so I somehow expected more even from a low alcohol session brew.

Oct 20, 2005 Bottled. Picked up a set from sainsburies of fullers autumn rage. This had this honeydew and some other warming fellow, but it also had LONDON PORTER! so look out for it if your in the shops. Aroma is almost dominated by a honey smeel mixed with malts and i can see the oats also. Taste is not as full as aroma, with a decently bitterness on the finish, though goes well with the aroma. A different to usual beer from fullers, however within the next week im sure the porter is about to blow it out the water!

Oct 15, 2005 Bottle. Very nice toasty nose with hints of cinnamon and apple. Reddish (duh!) with a slightly thin but pleasant coloured head. Biscuity is correct, but a bit thin in a way. Not disappointing as such as it is well crafted and refreshing, but not as good as stablemates ESB or London Porter for example. Still, I haven’t had a bad Fullers beer - they’re my favourite pommy brewer.
