beer - Fuller's Vintage Ale 2002

     Once a year Fullers brings out a vintage ale made with the finest hops and malt of that particular season.  I purchased a bottle of the 2002 vintage a few months ago and shared it with Clare. 'golden-themed' beer for the Queen's Jubilee in 2002, using Goldings hops and
Golden Promise malt.


Nose:  malt nose with berries and toffee.

Pallet:  toffee dark treacle and  something tangy.

Finnish:  lovely and warming, like nothing I’ve had before, rich.

Comment:  not my kind of thing really.  Too alcoholic tasting for a beer
