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."
"I love this full flavoured dark beer. I’ve been drinking this slightly cooled. An excellent purchase, along with the London Porter, two excellent beers."
"Full blooded and full of character. Malty with a fruit edge and a deep mellow draft. I found it best at room temperature and perfect for Autumn."
"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 😊"
"Fullers ESB definitely the best beer in the world. Always voted best ale at beer festivals. Say no more."
"Love a Winter Ale and this one doesn’t disappoint. Looking forward to the cooler weather, to enjoy this fully."
"I ordered a christmas box of all assorted fullers brands, the Old Winter Ale was one of the stand out beers so I have ordered a dozen for this winter"
"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."
