Bottle. Cellared for five years. Awakened with a soft "thut". Nearly black with a thin vibrant head.
Aroma of roasted chestnuts with sweet caramel toffee sauce.
Malt and dark autumn fruits when tasted. Rum and raisin chocolate fudge. Sweet at the front with a light bitter finish.
Soft bottle conditioned feel.
Sublime and well worth the ageing. Must be at it's peak.

A- Pours a deep Ebony with some light visible. The head is thick and creamy and stay the distance
S- Sweet caramel and toffee aromas
T- Up front some nice hoppy flavours closely drounded out by milky caramel chocolate flavours, the finish is milky
M- Medium to heavy body with minimal carbonation
O- Extremely well rounded beer. And somewhat a work of art. I love the concept of the past masters series.Its literally tasting history, and a massive thumbs up for that.

500ml bottle emptied into a..... glass.
Looks great - very dark with a nice creamy tan head - lots of lacing and good retention.
Nose isn't expressive but has a bit going on - some expected coffee and chocolate but with a little bready malt.
Palate is lovely - lovely creamy mouthfeel and lots of lovely coffee malt - just a hint of bitterness at the end - great balance.
This beer really sang for me - I'm not a huge fan of Fuller's beers but this is great.
Highly recommended.

Dark brown color with tan head. Aroma is quite tame, just some toasted malt. Taste follows, slightly roasty, a bit of coffee bitterness, quite simple. Not really as good as I am used from other Fuller's beers.

The colour is black; the two finger head is airy and off-white. It sinks slowly leaving some lacing on the glass.
The smell god some red dried fruits, fried meat, black chocolate and a subtle touch of vanilla. It is lighter than expected.
The taste is surprisingly dry; almost harsh. Dried red fruits/berries, passing metallic bitterness. Crisp bread and orange candy. Medium body. The aftertaste got growing hot alcohol, harsh bitterness, old fashioned fruit candy and some barrel-aged oak notes. Alcohol, charcoal, rolled oats and prunes in the finish.
The carbonation is medium strong; lots of very small long-lived bubbles. The liquid is semi-smooth.
I had hoped for more and stronger flavours in this one. Clean and drinkable, but not very complex.

Delicious.

Great porter!
