Newcastle Scotch Ale back label, "The beauty of this style is its fulsome malt character..." Come on now fellas, our dictionary defines "fulsome" as "Offensive, disgusting."

Abundantly complimentary and overly flattering are the definitions I've read.
@Ragman,
I think these guys were using the word in its earlier English meaning, which was "ABUNDANT"
I recall that in Penthouse Magazine, there were many girls with nice fulsomes
