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.

500 mL Can. Rich brown body with a frothy pale brown head. Aroma is rich malt, toffee, coffee, caramel, and a hint of cocoa. Rich malt flavor with a sweet dark malt aftertaste and a sweet caramel / black coffee finish and a smooth silky mouth feel. To that little man down there at the bottom of the label: I’ll buy that round!

12oz - Aroma of dark roasted malts, rusty water and a touch of chocolate. Flavor matches with a nice chocolate finish. Palate is thin and ashy. Tasty enough but nothing special.

Pick this up at Stephanie’s in Doylestown. One of the best Porters I have had. Smooth as could be.

Pours almost opaque, but there is some deep dark mahogany through the middle of the beer when held up to light. A thin mocha colored head forms on top and soon thereafter, it dissappears leaving some lacing behind. The aroma is complex of most noticeably - chocolate. Other aromas follow such as caramel and toffee. There is a tad of coffee malts as well, but overall, rather subdued and subtle. Live carbonation on the tongue. Chocolate really seems to dominate this brew as this flavor is again, most noticeable. Other flavors do follow such as the deep bitter roasted coffee and toffee. The finish is the roasted aspect of a porter. This is a really fine porter!!

Aroma is a very soft roasted barley, could be stronger for my tastes - i like my smells! But it looks great, has an amazing dark appearance and big fluffy, almost creamy, head. Taste is nice and smooth, all barley and malts, very satisfying. Could be slightly stronger, a little wateriness on the back end that makes it more refreshing than I was hoping for. Mouthfeel is great, but again still feels a little watery. But these are small complaints, it’s still a great brew.

Dark brown pour with a small light tan head. Wonderful chocolate malt aroma. The flavor is even better, chocolate, a little molasses and a nice roasted malt aftertaste. Medium bodied, one of the best porters out there.
