Fullers London Porter (Bottle/Keg)

This was lovely, perhaps the best porter I’ve had yet. The colour was a rich, dark colour hinting at the malts and chocolate within, and the enormous head was also top-notch. Aroma and taste again featured both the chocolate and the malt, with little evidence of hops. A most enjoyable, smooth drink.

Looks great tastes great. When I bought this at the local LCBO I really did not know what to expect. Very dark, thin light brown head, big chocolate flavour, with some complexity and a great slightly bitter aftertaste. Hopefully i’ll be able to find this one again.

11.2oz bottle. Pours a dark brown, almost black body with a reddish tint to it. Thin, light brown head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is medium sweet English malts and roasts with some smoke, chocolate, and fruits. Flavor is roasts and a light smoke, fruity English malts, some licorice, toffees, nuts, and chocolate. A very late hop presence, but not much. Finishes rich and roasty with a medium length aftertaste. Light bodied, somewhat watery but full flavored, and dry. Overall, a solid and classic porter. A bit over-rated, but tasty and full of flavor.

Pours a dark chestnut brown, with a good off-white head. Aromas of chocolate, coffee and malt. Taste a bitter coffee with chocolate highlights and hints of roasted malts and nuts. Finishes dry with good bitterness...it is what it is...

This beer tasted like a carbonated chocolate latte. It looks great: a dark brown hue that was slightly transparent at the edges of my special beer glass. The taste at first was almost too chocolately and coffee-like, but I think I served it too cold. I had it with spicy-hot BBQ wings and pizza, and it tasted amazing together. I highly recommend this beer if you can find it.

I shared a bottle of this with BeerBaron617. Honestly, I didn’t like it all too much. It did pour a nice color, chocolate brown and it’s pretty transparent. It had a thin foamy head that made it’s way into a thin ring around the glass. It smelled like milk, which was weird and made me uncomfortable. It did have a nice chocolate taste and a slight bit of coffee in there, but there was only light carbonation and a very weak mouthfeel. I did not enjoy this beer.

From the tap poured dark brown with a fair amount of head. Nice sweet malty flavor with a lingering finish.

Dark brown with red tints, a nice milk chocolate tan head. The aroma is big and roasty with dark chocolate, mixed berries. Taste is smooth chocolate milk, caramel, fruity toffee, and then a light astringent malt bitter finish. Nice.
