Smooth and satisfying, this example of an historic style of beer derives its rich, chocolatey character from a blend of Brown and Chocolate malts in the brew. Its notable coffee notes and creamy finish make it a wonderful accompaniment to many sweet foods – especially chocolate pudding. 5.4% ABV.

It is all the time a pleasure to drink this beer, roasted malt, coffee, hop, dry finish and well balanced at all the phases, 26.02.17, at Prélaz, finding it in one coop.

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.
