Bulldog is an award winning strong ale that was first brewed for the export market in 1947. The traditional recipe and maturing process of "warm conditioning" which takes place after fermentation, has been deliberately retained to preserve the strength and quality. The beer is dry hopped and the distinctive mellow flavour of Bulldog Strong Ale allowed to develop slowly.

33 cl bottle. Clear light amber with one finger creamy offwhite head. Flowery nose. Good amount of sweet malts and lots of peppery hops. Unbalanced, starts sweet and sticky and finish into a massive bitterness, but the finish is long. Noticeable alcohol and syrup. Thick and oily, heavy.

This stuff is all over central Italy. Thin palate. Low carbonation. A little sweet. Dark yellow, lots of malt, minimal roasted flavor. Easy enough to drink, and a nice change from the cheap lagers I was finding everywhere.

33cl bottle. Bought Manerba , Italy: Pours amber with a off white head. Aroma is complex:, sweet malts, liquorice & fruits. Taste is also caramel & sugar with quite a noiceable alcohol burn. Sticky & not surprisingly tough to swallow!

Small offwhite lasting head. Orange body with carbonation. Light fruity malty hoppy aroma. Sweet-dryish resiny fruity hoppy taste with a firm malty backbone. Herbal notes, and some honey. Very nice. (0.5 pint draft at Mulliganβs, Milan.)

0.33 l bottle. Pours dark yellow to orange clear body with extra small head forming after pouring the beer. Aroma is very weak, malty. But flavor is quite full, pleasant, very light, exceptional. Alcohol is felt maybe just a little on tongue as sparkling. Very nice long finish, maybe just a hint bitterish after a while. Average carbonation. Very good beer, if aroma was stronger it would gain higher score.
