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 from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. I poured this brew at the sub 50s, so I figured that the palate would be artificially improved. As it warmed, it stayed remarkably smooth. The flavors were of chocolate and slight cigar smoke. This beer was excellent, one of my new favorites.

Picked this up at the Party Source in Bellevue KY . Not as good as I expected it to be for a 99 rating. Not as smooth as a Founders or Olfabrikken. This is good don’t get me wrong but it just wasnt as smooth the other 2 top porters.A little more bitter and not near as creamy. Chocolate is present but more along the lines of coffee.Slight nuttiness and slight roastiness a little more bitter than what I like. This is a good brew but there are a couple others that clearly are better choices.

Bottle from Waitrose. Near black colour. Chocolatey, vaguely nutty aroma. Fairly sweet, milk chocolatey flavour. Only a hint of roast. Moderate body, hint of earthiness. Finishes with some chewy, molassesy accents in the chocolate. Good but when on form, the cask version is better.

Pours a dark chestnut brown, with a good off-white head. Aromas of chocolate, coffee and malt. Taste a bitter coffee with chocolate highlights and hints of roasted malts and nuts. Finishes dry with good bitterness. Very pleasent overall.

Bottle at the Winking Lizard Crosswoods location. Pours dark brown with some white head. Rich roasty flavor. Very malty and bock-ish, but has some coffee aroma as well. Flavor is coffee and chocolate with a dry hop finish. Just what a porter should be.

(Draught at Hilpeä Hauki, Helsinki, on 2008-12-13) Almost black. Clear. Dense and long lasting a little bit tan coloured head. Roastedness and coffee in nose. Full bodied and dryish palate with medium carbonation. Coffee, roastedness, bitterness, liquorice and coffee with milk in taste. Fine porter.

Aroma is filled with coffee and chocolate. The color is dark brown, with a small head that disipates quickly, the body is moerate and is well balanced between the coffee and chocolate malts, very smooth with a slight aftertaste of coffee. Not overpowering at all.
