Buy Porterhouse An Brain Blásta - Hess BLVT - Fuller’s Past Masters 1966 Strong Ale

Porterhouse An Brain Blásta

Our secret weapon. A fulsome, winsome strong ale. A deep copper tinged brew for the true aficionado, longer fermentation and thrice hopping bring about a complex soft bitterness allied to a malt induced sweetness with the characteristic oily Fuggles hop perfume. Not just for students. Once "stuffed" savour the flavour of a glass as a digestif... True "Aroma-therapy".

Brain Blaster (Braonblásta) quiere decir en irlandés una gota sabrosa, pero también, algo que hace explotar el cerebro. Asi que se trata de una cerveza para respetar. Con su carácter ligeramente afrutado y maltoso se trata de una cerveza noble debido a su largo tiempo de fermentación y maduración. Los aromas finos y bien pronunciados se deben a la exquisita mezcla de lúpulo.

Fuller’s Past Masters 1966 Strong Ale

The fourth Past Masters recipe resurrected from Fuller’s record books, 1966 Strong Ale is a dark ruby beer that delivers rich plum flavours, a sumptuous velvety finish - and more than a hint of nostalgia.

1966 will always hold a special place in English hearts - but even several weeks before that famous Wembley win, Fuller’s brewery team was busy making it a vintage year. At 6am, Monday 20th June, 1966, we began our first Strong Ale brew.

The recipe is still there in our Brew Book and provides a unique glimpse into British brewing history.

Just as it did in ‘66, this rich, ruby-coloured ale combines Pale Ale malt, Goldings and Fuggles hops, and a blend of rich cane sugars and dark cane molasses. It opens with a spicy banana aroma, before a rounded middle palate hints at plum and stone fruit. Then comes a warming, velvety finish with a gentle caramel sweetness.
