An annual limited-edition brew, Fuller's Vintage Ale is the most special beer to leave our Griffin Brewery each year. Every Vintage Ale recipe is unique from the last - yet all have to mature, with the flavours developing over time. For the Vintage Ale 2019, we have traveled 12,000 miles for inspiration, as West London meets South Island New Zealand. Wai-Iti hop brings mandarin, lemon, and lime to the fore, whilst Crystal malt - grown on the New Zealand's Canterbury Plains - adds notes of toasted bread and honey. Looking a little closer to home, our famous Fuller's yeast gives the beer its familiar orange marmalade backbone.

    500 ml bottle in cardboard box, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.5%. Bottle No. 052643. Deep reddish brown colour (more red than brown, actually), large off-white head. Aroma of raisins, dates, caramel and toffee. Rich malty flavour with notes of raisins and dark dried fruits, some caramel sweetness, but not too much. Probably good for many more years, but also eminently drinkable right now.

    The beer pours a translucent rust colour with a creamy tan coloured head which lasts for several minutes. Effervescence is high. The aroma is caramel, bread, dark fruit, and yeast. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is dominated by the sweet notes of caramel and molasses with hints of burnt wood and hops in the background. Not as good as other vintages, but still a very good beer.
