Pure silk i bet Simon?...I got to try one of their Reserve at GBBF last August that too was Silk perfection & was worth the wait in the very large queue of people..
@StumpyJoeJr I would really like to try beer that was brewed in traditional wooden barrels, I wonder how the beer would have changed in the taste? Fullers purposely used whiskey oak barrels to draw out the whiskey flavour but it intrigues me how things would have tasted "Back in the day" Cheers Ryan.
@Wineword I have a very very special Italian Beer from Birra Del Borgo for us to review next month, that comes in a nicely presented box too, this beer was lovely, importantly getting the beer taste first then subtle hints of Whiskey. No2 was brewed in Cognac casks resulting in it being way out balanced, it was hard to find a beer taste, just loads and loads of Cognac. Im taking part in Movember, have to grow a tach for the month of November for testicular Cancer charity, cheers Robin.
@ThrilledSkinny Thanks for the suggestion, but I have to show the bottle off to my viewers, I have had numerous emails asking me to show label, cap etc. I am as careful as possible not to shake up the sediment, cheers

We can get most of the Fuller's range over here but I've never seen their brewers reserves here.
It's a case of what's old is new. All beer used to be aged in wood barrels but now breweries are experimenting with different types of spirit barrels.
I don't how you're getting sent all these special beers. You are certainly lucky.

just think how clear the beer would pour if you stopped shaking the bottle up before you poured!
