Fuller's - Past Masters XX Strong Ale
From their Heritage series.
Pours slightly cloudy dark amber with a very full, off-white head.
Aroma of berries and earth, quite a mild aroma. A touch of alcohol comes through.
Feel is very creamy and a bit dry.
Taste is very nice, a touch of dark chocolate, toasted grains and raisin on bread dough. Hints of alcohol come through mostly in the finish.
A bit of sweet honey fills in the middle and a flowery bitterness with a hint of earth finishes it off along with the alcohol.
Very nice and full flavoured English ale. According to the back label this beer is from a recipe dating from Sept. 2 1891. If this is the beer our ancestors were drinking they were doing all right for themselves.

Fullers London Pride

Pleasant smoky aroma. Have never come across a smell like that in an ale. Flowery with a bit of citrus flavor. Nice clean bitter after taste. Another great blend of hops and malt, (or bitter and sweet). All in all another great beer, not quite as good a blend as the Fullers ESB.
This is what Fuller's has to say about this beer:
"London Pride is a smooth and astonishingly complex beer, which has a distinctive malty base complemented by a rich balance of well developed hop flavours from the target, challenger and northdown varieties in the brew. At 4.1% a.b.v in cask (4.7% a.b.v in bottles)London Pride is an ideal session-strength premium ale."
