Commercial Description:
Bottled and (in USA) kegged - pasteurised.
Fuller’s London Porter captures the flavours of those original brews perfectly, although you won’t find a cloudy pint these days! Rich, dark and complex, at 5.4% ABV the beer has an outstanding depth of flavour.
It is brewed from a blend of Brown, Crystal and Chocolate malts for a creamy delivery balanced by traditional Fuggles hops. The range of flavours works well with a wide variety of foods, ranging from rich meat dishes, to oysters, and even chocolate puddings.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a foamy tan head. Heavy carbonation. Aroma is of coffee, malt, vanilla, brown sugar, and chocolate. Taste is of malt, lightly roasted coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and brown sugar. All of the flavors blend well without anything being too powerful. Body is light due to the carbonation. Mouthfeel is very creamy thick. A very drinkable porter.

Like an e e cummings poem unexpectedly uttered by a coal miner on a bitter cold day. Looks like a glass of liquid obsidian and smells like black coffee and burnt oak. You brace for a harsh taste, but instead it comes on gently, warming you with a chocolate flavour. Leaves a bitter aftertaste that reminds you of better times. This is what unrelenting, stubborn hope tastes like.

Pours a dark brown with copper edges. Minimal brown head. Roasted chocolate aroma along with a good roasted taste and creaminess. Finishes with a bitter coffee flavor. A bit thin but it is English.

Nice, full body. Almost too creamy, but still very good. Incredibly smooth.

Big bubbley beige top sits above dark dark ruby...notes of Fuggles are way out there and glide up your braincells. an earthy , bitter chocolate dryness coats your gumbs in a warming way. Ive grown a bit bored of Porters . I use to really dig this ale , now i find it lacks some complexitey and is a bit shallow. A nice drink..but not my style these dayz.

Dark brown pour. Lots of milk chocolate in the nose, along with some cream and roast. The flavor is mild, but very tasty milk chocolate with a mild hop/burnt kick coming in at the end. Maybe a bit of coffee in the finish too. Mouthfeel is on the light side, but velvety smooth. A very good, very drinkable porter, though not quite the greatness that I was expecting.

Very dark and very strong porter. Coffee flavors are the most prominent present on both the nose and taste. Bit of a surprise kick too.
