Rich, dark and complex, 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.

Bottles, many. Black body with a beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of chocolate, raisin, digestive biscuit, Twiglet ash with a hint of vanilla. Flavour of peppery spice, chocolate, black cherry and prunes. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A well rounded Porter.

500ml, bottle.
ABV 5,4%
Pours black, with thin, quickly diminishing brown head.
Nose has some hidden sweetish notes, and some roastedness/smokeyness.
Flavor is where things kick in 😁 balanced notes of roasted malt, some bitterness, not so much caramel, and plenty of smoke. Really good porter!
Medium carbonation, with a nice roasted and dry/bitter finish.

Mitternachtsburgundene Farbe, bräunlicher Schaum. Volles Karmalz in der Nase. Dunkelmalz ist auch beim Trinken das bestimmende Thema. Sehr voll und tief. Ein Hauch Traubensaft und Trockenobst ist erkennbar. Die Röstnoten sind für ein Bier dieser tiefdunklen Färbung fast schon als dezent zu bezeichnen. Die Hopfung verdient definitiv dieses Attribut. Die Bitternoten kommen dann doch eher von der Röstung des Malzes und weniger von der Hopfengabe. Trotzdem ist das Bier keinesfalls zu süß. 5,4 % Alk sind für ein Porter durchaus eine Ansage - das erwartet man eher bei einem Stout. Sehr weich, wenig Kohlensäure. Sehr dichtes, volles Mundgefühl - trotzdem bleibt eine ganz gute Süffigkeit. Das hat schon was. Wer anglophil ist und auf dunkle Biere steht, muss das unbedingt mal antesten.

a go-to beer..Fullers London Porter isn't extraordinary,but nore is this ordinary. The lines blurred: the chocolate malt notes are for some reason one of my favourite expressions in any beer that I'm a frequent drinker of ... Rich and smooth, but cleverly executed.. nothing unwantedly cloying ..& straight up really pleasant!
notes are also roasted and coffeeish dry ...and let's say cheers to those subtle fuggle hops too 👍

Bottled. Pours deep brown colur with quickly disappearing beige head. Coffee, cocoa and roasted notes in aroma. Basically it has the same notes in aroma, combined with slight smoky/woody notes. It finishes with moderate bitterness and with warming some very slight alcoholic notes also appear. Softly carbonated and medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Nice one.
