"An absolutely first-class beer that is full of flavour and an absolute delight to drink. Having never tried it before I wasn’t sure what to expect but this was this definitely a great choice. Rich, warming and tasty, I would highly recommended this for anyone who loves a a quality ale."
"Old Winter is one of my favourite ales. Strong and full-bodied, I have never tasted a beer so appropriate for the season and I always associate Old Winter with Christmas in particular. Full of warmth, lovely nose and subtle undertones, yet thirst quenching and can be enjoyed all year round. Don’t miss this very special ale - you won’t find better !"
"You might think, "only 4 stars?" but let's face it, I've spent a lifetime looking for the perfect pint and I'm not sure whether it even exists but the search must go on! Fullers Winter Ale is pretty close to perfect though and is particularly suited to these chilly nights with it's malt foreward, caramely, toffee flavours, which remain balanced by just enough hop bitterness added. It's essentially another stonking beer in the Fullers range! Cheers!"
"The beers eventually arrived, having trouble with DHL, just throw parcels around. Beers taste great, with notes as listed “on the tin (bottle)” and am now getting ready for the Red Fox, HSB, ESB and of course the Pride😛"
"Very pleased with my purchase. It's so good, the DHL courier nicked the first box that was sent! They've obviously got good taste as well. This issue was quickly resolved and a second box was dispatched which made it to me... thankfully!"
"I purchased a number of items, was told that they would be delivered next day. ONE item was delivered four days later, the rest returned by courier to Fullers with conflicting messages. Took Fullers over a week to refund my money. I will not be purchasing from Fullers again."
"Most old-established breweries brewed a Winter/Christmas Ale. Sadly, they are slowly disappearing (both breweries and their seasonal ales) so quality like this has to be savoured whilst available. Can't imagine enduring our winter without it."
"You need to stop using DHL as your chosen courier. The driver just threw my boxes of beer over my threshold and ran off without a signature and then claims that somebody called "David" signed for the delivery. This could lose you customers and I will think twice about using Fullers again"
"This has become one of my regular pleasures, apart from a very hot summer's day, so probably 11 months of the year then!!🤔 A 5.2 % pint which goes down very well! Another Fullers successful creation! 😍✅😊👍™️"
"It is what I would call an “old fashioned ale”. It reminds me of a time when many beers had an exquisite malty taste. Very few do nowadays. This is a beautiful drop of ale."
