| Brewer's Description: | Fuller’s London Porter is an award-winning example of this historic English style; smooth and creamy with delicious chocolate and coffee flavours. The Griffin Brewery in Chiswick, London, has been brewing fine ales since 1654. The Fuller, Smith, & Turner partnership, dating back to 1845, brews an excellent range of award-winning ales, many of which are available in the USA, including London Pride Pale Ale and the world’s original ESB. I hope you will enjoy trying all our fine ales. |
| Appearance: | Dark brown in color. Head is a tan color. Not long head retention. Too dark to see any bubbles rising. |
| Aroma: | Has a very rich smell. I can smell the chocolate/coffee that they describe. |
| Taste: | This seems very rich for beer. It has almost a burned/charred taste. I can associate that taste with malt, I suppose. It’s pretty distinctive. Most of its taste comes as aftertaste. I don’t taste much bitterness or hoppiness. This is the beer that the lady at Kegs & Barrels suggested as a benchmark for malt flavor. |
| Mouth Feel: | It has a good feel. The carbonation level is good. It’s pretty creamy, but with carbonation release. It’s a little thicker (more viscous) feeling than others beers I’ve tried to date. |
| Drinkability: | I think this is an aquired taste, but I think I could learn to like it without too much difficulty. I would buy it again if I was in the mood. |
| Score: | 5 / 10 |
