A very light bitter with light colour sampled at the Mossy Well. Light carbonation. Mild bitterness, very easy drinking. Not bad.

Pours a clear mahogany colour with a tan head. A rich and complex aroma and similar flavour. Similar to the 2020 (which I recently reviewed) but with more of a fiery alcohol edge, with hints of Armagnac. A beautifully aged bottle. Notes of caramel, dried fruit, prunes and leather. Very mouth-filling with a long, rich aftertaste. A great old ale.

Purchased from Fuller’s. Pours a deep mahogany colour with a frothy tan head. Rich aromas of prune, dried fruit and caramel. Taste is rich and complex. Slightly nutty with notes of caramel, fruit cake, ripe banana, toast and oak. Very satisfying taste with a long lasting aftertaste. A superb Vintage Ale.

Pours dark brown with a smallish tan head. Bags of flavour with notes of prunes, raisins, toffee and chocolate. Delicious, long lasting flavours, which disguise the high ABV very well. Great mouthfeel with a long, lingering aftertaste. A superb beer, very suitable at the end of a cold November evening.
