Fuller's 1845
Fuller's 1845 was first brewed in 1995 as an anniversary beer, following a recipe drawn from the old Fuller's brewing books. Amber malt joins Pale, Crystal and Chocolate malt, and Goldings is the only hop. It pours a dark tawny and is conditioned in the bottle. Sweet fruit cake leads the aroma, backed by biscuit and a touch of nutmeg. Raisin and dried fruit meet biscuity malt on the palate, and the finish is dry and spicy.
