Fullers London Porter (Bottle/Keg)

Brewed by Fullers
Style: Porter
London, England

11.2oz bottle. Pours a dark, cherry-brown color; creamy, khaki-colored head with fine-bubbled lacing; an attractive pour. Lots of roasted malts, chocolate, and cocoa in the aroma; creamy coffee and soft roastiness. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: pleasant roasted coffee, milk chocolate, and roasted malts; very soft, enjoyable coffee character, if a bit too reliant on that roasted coffee note to fill things out; a touch of smokiness present as well; reasonable, tasty porter. Medium finish: coffee, roasted malts, chocolate, and a touch of smoke; ends with some dough.

Best porter I’ve ever had. No overpowering chocolate taste/sweetness that you find in a lot of porters.

intence cofee and rye bread aroma. smooth flavor wth bitterish rye bread aftertaste. i think this porter is short of intensity, that is only my opinion of course!

Bottle. Deep brownish-black with reddish tint. Small off-white head. Roasted malts, chicory, cocoa predominate in mild nose. Creamy mouthfeel helps coat the tongue with the sublime chocolate malt flavors. Hops delightfully balanced by a subtle string of sweetness, lingering finish. Great stuff.

Perfect copper/dark amber color with a very thick and full khaki head. Awesome aroma of chocolate malts, a mild roastiness that gives the impression of a sweet coffee. Nice medium body, not too thick. Sweetness really comes through with the initial taste, the finish is what draws out the smooth roasted quality along with the unique porteresque hop flavor.

Pours dark red/brown with white, long-lasting head. Nose is initially more malt roast/coffee, but as beer warms, chocolate scents grow in dominance. Taste was similar, starting off with more roast bitterness, caramel and chocolate developing with warmth, and finally, an exclusively sweet chocolate dominance. I found the body lifeless, probably my least favorite aspect.

Pours brown-black with a small tan head. Nice aroma of chocolate malt and coffee. Flavor starts very sweet and moves to a bitter coffee finish. A bit of earthiness. Good but not exceptional.

Bottle. Aroma is a bit smokey and sweet with hints of chocolat and coffee. Really nice mouthfeel with flavours of chocolate,coffee and a bit fruity finish. Great english porter!
