Fullers London Porter (Bottle/Keg)

Brewed by Fullers
Style: Porter
London, England

I just had the Samuel Smith imperial stout earlier tonight, and I definitely think this is not as good. It’s a very good porter, with classic taste, as well as color and aroma, but it lacks the character thats so well preserved with the Sammy. I would probably drink this again, but I wouldnt buy it. Cheers!

50 cl bottle, bought in Newhaven, shared with Bjørnar and Roger. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt. Flavor is sweet, dark fruit and roasted malt. Dry finish. Nice, but not world class porter.

11.2 bottle. Very pleasant aroma, lots of roasted mocha and coffee beans, not much hop presence though. Decent pour with about a inch of cream colored pillowy head, mostly goes away, very small lacing, 50/50 opaque, dark rust color. Similar flavor profile to the aroma, with slightly larger presence of floral type hops starting in the middle and finishing nicely in the end with an easy rich malt lingering, smooth and maybe just o so slightly too light, but still a great feel. Might just barely be too weighted toward the malt side, but overall this a beer made of very high quality and its hard to complain.

Bottle. Very dark colour with a medium sized tan head. Roasted malt aroma with hints of chocolate. Taste is roasted, chocolate and coffee with some smoke. Medium-bodied and smooth mouthfeel. Sweet and chocolaty aftertaste. Delicious, well-balanced brew.

16 oz. can: Pour is clear dark with a creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, sweet brown sugar, and a little cream. Has a very creamy mouth feel. Low carbonation. Flavors include a full roasted barley, lightly sweet chocolate malt, light cream. Damn fine brew. Full flavored and smooth. Would buy again.

On tap. Poured black with ruby edges, off white head, fully diminishing. Aromas of chocolate, burnt malt, cinnamon. Flavour is initially sweet, and some hops come through. Finishes quite bitter. Sweeter for a porter but nicely hopped and well blended flavours.

Nice Creamy Porter. Very Dark Pour. Medium Head. Roasty malts. Dark Coffee with heavy cream taste. Very drinkable porter. I think this would go very well with food that is sweet. Would be a good base in a long cook dish or a braise.
