COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle and keg (USA): 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.

4 Palabras: "Otro nivel de cerveza", una cerveza con gran cuerpo, con cierto grado de complejidad, pero que a la vez es suave y cremosa, perfectamente balanceada, el lupulo es bajo; el aroma es cremoso, con notas de chocolate y malta tostada, aunque no tan tostada como en las stout; el sabor es exquisito, suave, chocolatoso, realmente delicioso; lo ideal seria maridarla con un postre de chocolate.

Bottle. Aroma: Very malty, smoky, chocolate aroma with notes of vanilla and coffee. Appearance: Deep, dark brown with dark tan frothy head. Taste: Notes of chocolate, alcohol, and coffee, sweet and malty. Palate: Full bodied, fairly thick texture, soft carbonation, astringent and bitter finish. Delicious porter with a good mix of smoky and rich flavors and aromas.

jcos (567) - Maryland, USA - JAN 29, 2012
Location/Date:January 29th, 2012.

Appearance: Pours a dark brown opaque with red head.
Aroma: Aroma is of chocolate, malt, roastyness.
Taste:Roasty malt with some chocolate - nothing crazy as this is tradiational, but it’s done really well.
Palate:Smooth body, slick, quick aftertaste.

Summary: I can see why this is the highest rated beer from England and of the style. It simply sets the bar.

Scopey (1165) - Croydon, Surrey, ENGLAND - JAN 25, 2012
Bottle at home. It pours very dark brown, with a light tan head. The nose is smoke, tar, treacle, burnt malt and some green vegetables. The taste is roasted malt, ash, charcoal, bitter chocolate, coffee, cola, treacle and plastic, with a dry-roasted finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not bad, but not overly drinkable.
