Individually packed and numbered, this bottle is one of only one hundred and twenty five thousand produced
Although we are obliged to state a best before date of 2015, like a fine wine or whisky, this mellow golden ale will improve with age for many more years
Being bottle conditioned, the beer will form a natural sediment, so pour carefully, sit back, and enjoy this, the very finest of Fuller’s ales.

Gorgeous copper pour with a fluffy off white head. The nose is a little dull, light goldings, sweet, biscuity malts, and some alcohol. Mouthfeel is a little thick, carb is soft. The finish is very sweet, lots of booze, and some doppelbock like maltiness. The hops drop off completely and leave a low bitterness in the finish with some alcohol warming. This needs some age. But still a nice nightcap beer.

500ml bottle from Fullers Brewery, Chiswick, London. An amber/orange coloured pour with a thinnish off white head on top. Sweet aroma of caramel and dark fruit. Tastes very sweet indeed, boozy, caramel, warming. Possibly past its best now but the aroma on this is superb.

Bottle n. 26624 from Viti's, Vancouver
Hazy golden color. It has a nice cereals and malt base, moderately sweet, with hints of toffee, pudding, raisins, quite low bitterness, and average alcohol feeling. Bit of vegetables too.
Good.

Flaska från SB drucken med Svensson. Den äldsta vintage jag druckigt men kanske också den bästa. Perfekt balans och både kraft och djup i smakerna. Syltade apelsinskal med en hel del beska, ljunghonung, fudge, torkad frukt, sirap, karamell. En närmast perfekt modern klassisk engelsk strong ale. Rund och len och fin fin balans. Så gott.

500ml bottle shared at Alex's. Pours a murky copper with a white head. Aroma is malty and dark fruits. Taste is very sweet with caramel and dark fruits notes. Too sweet for me.

Bottle. Milky red amber, offwhite lace. Not as oxidized as the 2014 version. Spice, light leather, toffee. Plumpudding, a hint wood, hint of citric hops. Medium full mellow body. Citrus brandy finish - tastes surprisingly fresh. Wood and leather aftertaste.
