Malty, fruity taste with notes of dried figs, apricots, caramel, bread, nuts, dark chocolate, a touch of pink grapefruit and a balanced spicy bitterness in the finish.

UPDATED: AUG 8, 2020 Copenhagen 29/7 2020. 50 cl bottle from Salling, Søndergade, Aarhus. Fuller's usual design for the Past Masters brand with a lot of old brewers in a black and white photograph. Very gushy upon opening. Pours unclear, murky reddish , dark brown with a big off-white head. Bubbly. Settles as thin, patchy layer of foam unable to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing. Aroma is fsirly intense with a strong sugary and sweet odor of caramel and dark fruits mingling with a lighter grainy soirness. Caramel, toffee, plums, sugar. Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, fat, lightly tingling texture. Flavor is intense with a strong sweetness followed by a moderate bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a light bitter undercurrent. Lightly bitter finish with a modest boozy streak. A sweet and sugary brew I imagine would be well suited for drinking after dinner in front of for a roaring fireplace.

The alcohol warms a bit.

UPDATED: JUL 19, 2020 Dark brown and hazy, tan head that leaves some lazing. Aroma: Dried dark fruits, malty muscovado sugar. Taste: Bitter-sweet. Complex. Woody. Long finish. Soft , medium carbonation and creamy mouthfeel. Fantastic stuff. This is the kind of beer I long for, after a day of tasting new, 'hip' beers. Preferably from cask and not too cold, but a bottle will do nicely. English beer is amazing.
