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.

Very drinkable for a dark beer. Not great, but would still be a good choice for someone breaking into craft brews. Step after guiness perhaps.

Fuller’s London Porter is a very dark reddish brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is very fragrant and more flowery than I expected. The flavor is very smokey and this is very easy to drink.

500ml bottle from Sainsburys. Dark brown with some reddish hints and a big, frothy tan head. Big aroma of roast malt, coffee, figs, prunes and burnt molasses. Smooth mouth feel with dark chocolate, coffee and preserved fruit flavours. Some underlying spiciness before along dry finish that was marred slightly by pasteurised, boiled sweet flavours. Very good overall.

Great beer. Some good residual sweetness, and is very drinkable. Even people who might not like dark beers will find this beer enjoyable. Delicious!

Pours near black with a thin tan head. Aroma of milk chocolate, caramel, and coffee. Taste has strong roasted coffee flavor that slides into a lasting bitter finish. Very nice beer.

Roasted malty aroma with smooth chocolate, coffee, syrupy-like sweetness and licorice. Finishes quite dry and ashy. Low to medium bitterness. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Very enjoyable dessert-like beer.

Bottle. Pours dark ruby black brown, thin off white head. Aroma is molasses, caramel, anise, fudge. Flavor is the same, bitter, roasted and quite robust. Mouth feel is oily.

I consider this one a dependable, well above average, porter. The creamy consistency of the beer along with the tight roasted, chocolate, coffee taste is exactly what I desire from a porter. The inch thick head leaves quickly...small lace throughout. A tad bit more watery that I would like, but all and all - one heck of a beer. A small amout of bitterness at the end. On a sidenote, I love the design of the bottle...
