Back when Fuller’s originally brewed Double Stout, stout simply meant strong. Now, of course, in modern brewing parlance, stout is a style all of its own. It’s to be expected that a few things have changed in that time though – we first brewed it in 1893.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Tom. Dark brown to black with a beige to light brown head. Great roasty aroma full of dark chocolate and a bit of soy sauce. Sweetish flavor with lots of chocolate, continues drier and roasty. Medium to full-bodied, silky mouthfeel.

Purchased from the brewery shop at Fullers Griffin Brewery, Chiswick and poured into a Fullers ESB large pint goble (drank Mar ’12). Pours a very dark brown ’almost’ black in colour with a large frothy tan head. Dark roasted malts make up the majority of the aroma and in the background a definate whiff of chocolate allied to a little nut and smoke. Great tastes in this well balanced beer, picking up on all the favourites of a good old school stout that so many beers lack. From chocolate and coffee to leather, nut, a little dark fruit, a good dose of smoke - more so than on the nose and a small pinch of liquorice. A little woody on the finish. Medium to full in body, well disguised alcohol for a 7%+ beer! A fairly creamy texture which teases the throat for more and a small amount of carbonation which befits this style of beer. Overall a very good beer and I’ll definiately seek out again.

Black color; medium sized beige head, creamy but not long persistent. Quite strong aroma of cardboard, cream, roasted malts, vanilla, leather, wood; interesting, different from most other Stouts. Strong body with smooth mouthfeel; the dominant flavor is chocolate, followed by more heavily roasted malts, and with a trace of liquorice; low bitterness, some of it from the roasted malts, and light late ashes; balanced. Very pleasant.
