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.

tap at fiddlers hearth. Pours dark brown and delivered to me with no head. One of the best sessionable beers I’ve ever had. Really nice roasted malt and chocolate. very smooth. Great all around beer. Would be happy to drink again.

Bottle. Pours deep, dark ruby brown, almost black with a short light tan head. Roasted malt aroma with hints of dark chocolate, coffee beans and vanilla. Flavour is pretty much the same as the aroma but with a sweeter milk chocolate instead of the more bitter dark chocolate. Exceptionally smooth, creamy mouthfeel with a long finish, this is a great porter.

Nice tobacco and dark chocolate aroma. Mocha coffee and raisins. Deep chocolate brown look, with red highlights when put up to the light. Puffy, pimply head. Looks really nice. The flavor is coffee grounds and leather.Sweet plums and dates. Feint (unobtrusive) butterscotch. Great balance of sweet stone fruits and bitter, roasted malts. Feels ashy, but buttery after the swallow. Stands up to any American porter. None of the English over-sweetening I feared. An outstanding beer.

Pours an inky dark brown, with a one-finger tan head, very fine and lasting lacing. Aromas of espresso, chocolate, and toast, slightly woody. Medium body, smooth and creamy. Espresso and dark chocolate notes continue in the taste, finishing with a hint of pine. Extremely well balanced and drinkable. A perfectly crafted straightforward porter.

Black with strong, lasting tan head. Tasted of roasted malts with coffee flavors strong here. Also some chocolate and caramel notes. Very smooth and a bit more sweet than most stouts. Finished a bit bitter but not too much. Also not as dry as other stouts. Tasted delicious and got nicer the more you drank it. Also very well balanced. Overall I highly recommend!

Can. Goddamn I hadn’t had this in a while, and I don’t know why. This is really, a porter! Lightly roasted nose mixed with hints of dark and sweet cocoa. Flavor palate is simply perfect for this style. Ranges anywhere from sweet chocolate malts to earth dark cocoa, hints at coffee, with a very delicate touch of roast throughout the whole body. Velvety smooth and just the perfect amount of thickness. Cocoa lingers through the sweet finish. Balanced, tasty, sexy looking, and just overall a GREAT beer. Possibly Fullers best!

!2 oz bottle Pours Chocolate and ruby no head. Caramel and malt to the nose but in a very unique way maybe a bit of well water smell.(mean it’s metallic in aftertaste). Flavor is Coffee and smoked caramel. very earthy. Damn good taste. Not on flavor killing metallic taste to it. Damn I love this beer. also a slight chocolate taste. Great great beer. I’m glad I got this beer! Very highly recommended!
