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.

Pours dark brown with brown ruby at the edges with off-white bubbles that fade to a few, lots of roasted malt with some dry dark chocolate aromas, sweetness in the nose, coffee fragrances here and there, and faint fruit-berry aromas, has the same flavor as the aromas, lots of roasted malt, some dark roasted malt flavors with some bitter burnt taste that fit in with the other flavors, faint malt sweetness but more on the dry side of the porters beers, has a medium mouth feel, faint dark roasted or burnt malt bitterness on the palate at the finish that had some overly roasted coffee bean flavors, has a medium mouth feel and is very easy to gulp down.

Nice blend of chocolate, toffee, and currant aromas. Dark mahogany pour with a slow building medium sized tan head. It tastes of smoke, french roast coffee, and charred wood. Sweet espresso finish. Great balance.

Pours dark brown with ruby red highlights and a tan head. Smells of chocolate, dark fruit (figs, raisins, some plums), some roastiness. Tastes of chocolate, caramel, coffee, some nice peppery splashes, elements of toffee. Mouthfeel is full with a finish that yields a nicely balanced roastiness.

Bottle into pint glass. Pours a beautiful dark brown with a light tan head that dissipates rather quickly. This beer has heavy aromas of coffee, camp-fire smoke, butter and roasted malts. The flavor is of coffee, malts, burnt nuts, and a slight hint of toffee sweetness. Mouthfeel is a little on the light side for a porter, but this brew is still excellent!

Bottle poured into a tulip pint on 7-26-07. Dark ruby brown color with a 1 finger dark tan head. Big coffee note that dominates. Dark chocolate, roasted barley and milk chocolate compliment. Coffee taste initially with some dark chocolate. Can you guess? COFFEE with roasted barley. Body was a little watery and carbonation was very light. A bit much with the coffee for me. I like my porters with a more balanced taste. Not bad though.

Bottle. Beautiful dark brown color with a small but, tenacious head with good lacing. Smooth flavor of dark malt and coffee. Aroma of rich dark malts and coffee. I love a good porter and this is definitely one to try.
