Pours pitch black, topped with a very thin and nonlasting tan head. Nice chocolate with vanilla aroma, a bit woody, some alcohol notes. Silky body, fairly full. Moderate chocolate, vanilla sweetness. Medium bitterness. Quite a lot of alcohol warmth with whisky feel. A bit too boozy and strong, but still pretty nice.

Taste is malts, dark fruits, some dark chocolate, a bit of coffee and some hints of tobacco and ashes. Moderately bitter and tart. Low to medium carbonation. Balanced and nice but I just expect more from Fuller's - as unfair as that may be.

Palate - Soft carb, medium body but a bit thin for an oatmeal porter, improved with swirling to reduce the carb. Finish is a bit dry, soft bitter roast, dab of alcohol
