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.

Dark brown color with a nice head. Malty aromas that are very inviting. Taste is a malt balance that has chocolate and roasted characters in it. Overall a very good beer.

Really, really, solid porter. Dark pour. Big, chocolatey nose. Nice, roasty, chcocolatey flavor. Really nice to drink, especially after a long day of law school.

Fullers is a great Porter, it is full of flavor and armoa. It is dark with a slight head. Very easy to drink as good as any English Beer I have had.

Pours Dark brown with amber highlights, and a 3 finger creamy tan head that lasts and leaves lacing. Aroma is lots of roast, chocolate, a suprising amount of smoke, hearty medium roast coffee, hazelnuts, a little toast and plenty of burnt sugar. Flavor is super smooth, creamy hot cocoa, roasted nuts and lightly roasted malt at first. Then comes the stronger flavors: dark chocolate, roasted nuts, smoked almonds, brown sugar covered squash, a hint of espresso, lots of beautiful roast and a hint of smokey char. Finish is roast, planty hops, a bit of char, bitter hops and a toffee like fade. The flavor profile suggests a beer with a fairly thick body and a higher abv than 5.4%. The fact that Fullers can get this kind of flavor out of a beer that is light enough to be a great session is simply amazing.

33cl bottle, best before 01mar06. Dark black with hints of brown. Creamy, off-white head. Huge cocoa, peat, roast, burnt chocolate, and more cocoa in the nose. Deep roast, big mocha, like coffee ice cream. Like eating the perect coffee bean. The perfect bean covered in high percentage cacoa chocolate. Lighter bodied than the flavor profile, alowing this an eay drinking beer. Every Porter follows this beer.

Pours a dark chocolate color with almost no head. Strong porter like aroma. Very malty. Deep, smoky, bitter beer. A bit weak on overall flavor. Complex but too tame. The reputation is not well delivered with the flavor.

from the bottle. Pours thick and dark with thick head. Comlex aroma, roasted malt and chocolate. Flavor is very nice, a little bitter, chocolate, and raisins in the after taste. I like this porter, it’s well balanced and very drinkable.
