Bottle at home. Good pour and I had it at a perfect temperature. It's a good beer, but not great. Quite one dimensional on the rich malt flavours with not much else. Underwhelming.

Bottle, kindly shared by Cunningham. A lightly hazy deep golden colored beer with no head. Brown sugar, toffee, dark dried fruit and some alcohol in the aroma. It's full bodied and lightly warming, sweet, with a decent bitterness. Toffee, dark dried fruit and some herbal notes in the flavor. Lasting finish. A bit harsh, else nice. 240907

Fuller's 2019 Vintage Ale, Flasche aus Biertausch mit Pivnizub, geleert zum Andenken an den Freund und Kenner guter Biere - Friede seiner Seele! - Dunkelrotbraun, stark trüb; die typische Fingerbreit Schaum verschwindet im Nu und läßt das Bier unschön nackt zurück. - In der Nase üppige Süße von dunklem Honig, Trockenobst und überreifen Aprikosen, leicht likörartig; mattes Toastmalz, verwaschene orangenfruchtige Hopfenherbe, leise medizinische Noten. - Im Antrunk mächtige, klebrige Sirupsüße, fette Melanoidine, Toastmalz und lahme orangenfruchtige Herbe, die in Süße ertrinkt. Anklänge an Vanille und Holz. Nur matte Hopfung. Stark rezent, dennoch mastig; schnapsig. Im Abgang milde herbfruchtige Malzbittere und stumpfe Hopfung, schwache medizinische und leise Altersnoten. - Enttäuschend lahmes, schwerfällig süßes Starkbier ohne Raffinesse. Angeblich lagerbar bis Ende 2029, aber das werde ich nun nicht mehr nachprüfen können. Schade! (8.6.2024.)

Feine 5 Jahre reifen lassen, optisch braun, immernoch feine Perlung, in der Nase malzig nussig, im Trunk Cognac, Medizin, mittig bis spät alkoholisch, dezent Karamell, Vanille. Hab die anderen Vintage Ales besser in Erinnerung, das hier ist schön sehr medizinisch.

(Bottle) Dark amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy beige head. Malty nose with caramel, dried apricots, crisp-bread, orange peel, chocolate and hazelnuts. Malty taste with notes of caramel, bread, dried apricots, orange peel, nuts, chocolate, marmalade, citrus, lime, grass and a mild citric/spicy bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, quite sweet. Tasty and solid, as usual, with a gentle modern hop twist. Very nice.
