Herminator Ice Bock
Very, very dark brown pour with almost no head. I think it was a little too cold.
I detect plum and raisins as well as some maple syrup like sweetness in the aroma.
Quite a creamy mouth feel.
A nice fruity flavor with just a hint of alcohol in the background to start. The middle is creamy and fruity with a slight hop tingle to finish it. Great stuff.
I wish I had a more discerning palate. There are flavors in there that I just can't describe.

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."
