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.

"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."
"Fuller's Old Winter is an amazing ale. I loved it's malt forward taste. I drank this in the summer but can imagine it being best during the dark winter months. 5 out of 5 for me."
"Great beer for the dark cold nights, which is what I’m saving this for."
"Lovely warming flavoursome bear. Just right for any time of the year."
"A beer with plenty of flavour. Same high quality as Fullers seasonal opposite Honeydew."
"Lovely beer. Beautifully balanced, rich classic English ale. Good all year round - not just for winter! We enjoy it with pie and mash or just on its own."
"Excellent product and service from ordering to delivery. 👌 Very pleased."
"Fullers Old Winter Ale was major find for me, an ales enthusiast. It has that rare combination of richness as well as refreshing with a long, lingering after taste, as well as strong enough to have a bit of a kick. Unlike a lot of Christmas or Winter Ales it is no cloying, not catching the throat and nothing like liquidised Christmas pudding. I can honestly say that is one of the best beers I have ever drunk, along with Abbot Ale as it used to be & the now sadly closed Ringwood beers."
"Previous experience says it is a lovely beer with built in winter warmth. The current purchase will be stashed ( we hope ) for next winter!"
"Exceĺlant beer with malty old style taste"
