I have crafted the 2010 Vintage with the highest quality Tipple malted barley for the second year running. This ale’s main hop character is derived from traditional Golding and Fuggles hops and further enhanced with Dry Hopping, using a blend of the choicest Golding and Target hops. Coupled with the unique Fuller’s yeast strain we expect this beer to mature into another ’Classic’ Vintage! 125,000 bottles produced

bottle # 78512, and i have # 78565 for ageing.
Nice biscuity, malty, bready aroma, and the hops are RIGHT there. The dry hoping made a big difference. The aroma is very big on the goldings, and its quite pungent. Some spruce, and touches of citrus come through. There are faint whiffs of what i call goldings funk, and quite a bit of booze. I’m anxious to see what this turns into. This is one of the hopiest vintage ales i’ve ever had. The hops will fade, and the alcohol will mellow, should be interesting!

500ml bottle from Fullers Brewery, Chiswick, London. An amber/brown coloured pour with a thinnish off white head on top. Sweetish aroma of caramel, booze and a little dark fruit. Tastes similar, sweet, caramel, marmalade. Probably past its best but it has held up rather well after 14 years.

The 7th of the 12 Vintage Ales of Christmas box from Fullers. I'm working backwards from new to old. Pours unclear ruby chestnut with a fine beige foam. Aroma: malty, caramel, toffee, molasses, dried fruits. Taste: towards moderate sweet & light to moderate bitter, sweet malts, raisins, caramel, toffee, fruit cake. Medium body with fine carbonation, towards dry on the palate. The merest hint of oxidisation, otherwise it's held up well.

Opened in 2022. Dark brown. A little haze. Aroma and flavour are very jammy. Lots of raisins. Subtle malt sweetness. Very light, drying bitterness in the finish. Like a sweet Oloroso sherry.
