| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 6, 2004 tastes pretty much identical to fullers 1845 to me, a real fruitcakey beer if ever there was one. yummy combination of dry firm malt and heaps of spicy dry hop taste - did i mention the word dry in that sentence? bitter but balanced. lots of pepper in finish. real good. dreamboat (186), Brisbane, Australia
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 4, 2004 I found this beer to be very similar to the Mammoth, with just a litle less of everything - less alcohol, a bit less hop and malt taste, and not quite such a funky aroma. Would make an excellent session beer. motelpogo (4394), Plzen, Czech Republic
