This is another beer claiming to be truly English. I likened the taste of this beer to a Citroen from 30-40 years ago, which was a nice car for its time, but today it's just a nostalgia and doesn't evoke those old feelings when you ride it. It doesn't have the special features that would make it always unique and a classic like a Mercedes would.
As for its qualities, it's a sweet and bitter beer, but it doesn't have an extra special bitterness as its name suggests. Its sweetness is also not like Belgian beers, it's more like raw malt extract or molasses flavor. Its alcohol content is above average, which sets it apart from pub beers.
It has been referred to as Fullers' most awarded beer, but its global awards date back 15-20 years.
Unfortunately, it didn't leave a good taste in my mouth, probably because I couldn't get rid of the molasses flavor.
Alc (ABV): 5.9%
Score: 6/10
