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.

16.9 oz. bottle. Pours very dark brown, nearly black, with a thin, dense, tan head that lasted for about a quarter of the glass. Very pleasant aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, and just a little bit of coffee. The flavor was equally nice with roasted malt, chocolate and a bit of coffee all present once again. Just the right amount of bitterness at the finish. As the beer warms, a bit of soy sauce also emerges in the flavor profile. This beer is the textbook definition of what a porter should be. Excellent stuff.

Black with a beige bubbly head. The aroma is earthy and smokey. The flavour is also smokey, dry with roasted coffee and chocolate flavours that are nice but not very assertive. Firm to medium body.

Yes, the reviewers of ratebeer got this one right. Everything about this exceptional beer is perfect. Color, lacing, aroma, body, balance. While some may say the body is a bit thin this only allows the drinker to enjoy more of this excellent beer.

Dark brown with red tinge. Lightly roasted chocolate and coffee aroma has slight note of fruit and caramel. Taste is similar. Hops add a slightly bitter and faintly herbal finish. Sweet and smooth. Rerate: Really enjoyed the intense chocolate.

Pours a pitch black with a foamy beige head. Aroma of rosted malts dark chocolate and coffee. Taste very similar to aroma with malty dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Creamy and smooth up front with a dry bitter finish.

Pours very dark brown with a crimson hue and a good sized tannish head. The aroma with creamy roasted malt, milk chocolate, cream and some coffee bitterness. Medium / full body that gets a little thinner towards the finish with semi-sharp carbonation. Starts with some coffee bitterness, dark chocolate and roasted malt. The finish gets sharper with more pronounced bitterness. Good beer.
