Fullers London Porter (Bottle/Keg)

Brewed by Fullers
Style: Porter
London, England

Garrafa, 500 ml. Coloração preta avermelhada, com creme marrom bonito no início, mas que desapareceu quase por completo. Notas predominantes de café e malte torrado. Degustada com chocolate (meio amargo), ganhou surpreendente drinkability, crescendo em desempenho. Final seco e amargo, mas melhorado pelo chocolate. Boa cerveja.

Brown color, medium head. Aroma: Roasted barley, coffee, chocolate. Palate: Caramel, dark chocolate, coffee, toast. Creamy.

Essa surpreendente dunkel inglesa leva a sério o lema de que a primeira impressão é a que fica, com uma belíssima garrafa e rótulo e um surpreendente primeiro gole. Como toda dark beer que se preze, possui, segundo Luiz Fernando Cavalheiro, grão-mestre da Confraria do Status, "um corpo longo, forte amargor, café onipresente e aroma de trufas amargas". Assino embaixo e acrescento que, associado ao destacado e inebriante aroma de café, também se percebe fortemente a presença de maltes de chocolate e caramelo. Para os que conhecem a linha eisenbahn, eu diria que essa é uma eisenbahn anabolizada.

Had certainly put a few away by the time this was rolled out, but it still managed to show its worth. Really nice chocolate aroma, with a pinch of coffee thrown in. Smooth flavour, with plenty of depth belying the modest abv. Unfortunately my notes are rather thin, but the beer certainly wasn’t. Love to try this again.

Very nice chocolate aroma with a bit of coffee. Flavor is dark chocolate , coffee, and roasted malt. Finish is straight espresso. Very flavorful and very drinkable.

Bottle. I was shocked to find I hadn’t rated this one in all this time as I went to check my score after enjoying one while adding lights to the house tonight. I guess I’ve missed a couple other from Fuller’s I will have to sample again like this one. Pours nearly black with light brown head. Aroma is fairly roasty but mostly dark chocolate and maybe a hint of coffee. Flavor is nice and rich with malt and roastiness, light cocoa, and hints of espresso. Finish is clean and light for such a tasty brew with just a hint of bitterness. Smooth and creamy and easy drinking. I enjoyed this one, and I’ve enjoyed quite a few others just like it. I drink one of these at least once a year when the mood strikes.

Pours a dark brown that borders upon black. Reddish caramel hues poke out at the corners. Nice tan head that didn’t want to stick around for long, leaving a ring around the glass from start to finish. Aromas of bittersweet chocolates, roasted malt, chocolate malt, and espresso are most pronounced, with subtle hints of currants. Flavor is a big rush of roasted malt. A slight hoppiness is first to come with some dark chocolate..chocolate malt, burnt wood, all finished off with freshly brewed espresso. Creamy mouth feel...low carbonation, low booze..amazing drinkability. Instant classic.

On tap; poured a dark cola color with an off white head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, toffee and dark fruit. Flavor was similar to the aroma, but dominated more so by a sweet caramel flavor and dark fruit. Body was a little light, but added a nice drinkability to the beer. Very good example for the style.
