Fuller's Old Winter Ale is praised for its malty aroma and nutty, biscuity flavors, though some customers noted it lacks the distinctive Fuller marmalade flavor. This seasonal beer is a comforting choice for colder days, available exclusively on the Fuller's web shop and at the Chiswick brewery shop.

"Been blown away with all Fullers beers since l visited my son's in Kent some years ago now but sadly the ESB, GOLDEN pride and Winter ale are near impossible to purchase in Manchester, so thankfully buying online offers gave me an opportunity to purchase a large quantity of all. I intended to save the winter ale until Christmas but the temptation was far too great and l caved in-it was glorious, e"
"I love Old Winter Ale, great for the colder weather obviously but all year round as well. A comforting, well-rounded & wholesome taste and one of my favourite bottled beers."
"Deep chestnut brown in colour. On the nose, malty, fruity and sweet. Superb for cooler weather and is great served lightly chilled. Slight spicing on the tongue, dark fruits and biscuity flavour with hoppy bitterness on the back end, good carbonation, sweet caramel on the front end. Superbly balanced ale from Fullers once more."
"This is not just a Winter drink. I’ve really enjoyed it during the hot days - just chill it to around 5 or 6 degrees and it’s the perfect choice. Strong malt/caramel taste, slides down easily 😊"
"A proper traditional ale, which is becoming increasingly rare to find given the trend of NEIPAs and standard pale ales. A satisfying full flavour to savour."
"This beer is special. Great flavour, on my list for repurchase when I run out. It is rich and full bodied , I can imagine sitting in front of a roaring fire nursing a glass full of this exquisite Winter Ale."
"A lovely, traditional old ale, with a good strength. Biscuity, with fruity licorice flavour. Moreish."
"This beer is special. Rich and full bodied and comes a very close 2nd to my favourite, ESB. Not just for winter as I chill it in the summer and enjoy just as much."
"I love this beer - despite being called Old Winter Ale, for me this is an all year round beer and is even delicious chilled down for the summer heatwave. Get it while you can."
"Not just for Xmas. I enjoyed drinking thuis sat under a parasol next to the beach. Heavy and rich. Delicious."
