Pros: Rich and creamy, coffeeish, bitter in the finish Cons: None come to mind
Fuller's London Porter is not a beer for the timid. When you sip this beer, it bites back. This is a full, rich flavorful brew that certainly belongs on any list of the world's finest porters. Porter originated in London in the early eighteen hundreds....
Pros: Soft, gentle, and oh so roasty... Cons: Not served everywhere...
Why is it that restaurants always ask people if they want dessert or coffee after dinner? Why coffee? Why not a hearty, robust, dry porter -- like the classic good taste of Fullers London Porter! I can't think of a better way to cap off a succulent meal ...
Pros: Interesting flavours - rich, dark and strong Cons: Not to everyone's taste
The Griffin Brewery, the oldest brewery in London, is located in Chiswick, on the banks of the River Thames. Beer has been brewed continuously on this site since the mid 17th century. In 1845, John Bird Fuller was joined by Henry Smith and Smith's ...
Pros: A tasty character filled beer from an excellent brewery. Cons: Reminds me of winter.
As winter progresses and it seems to get colder and colder, I don't want to venture as far after dark as I would in the summer months. The quest is on for a bottled beer (or canned at a push) to keep in the fridge for these "stay at home" nights in front...
Anyone British reading this will understand my little play on the words of Brodie, Skinner and Baddiel. For everyone else let me say, that this is an adaptation of...
Pros: Revival of a great traditional beer Cons: Not for those whose idea of beer is 'lite'
When is a Stout not a Stout? (No it's not a joke)The answer is when it's a Porter. It is pretty much impossible to define what constitutes a Porter and what constitutes a Stout. Michael Jackson (no not that Michael Jackson) describes Porter...
Pros: Bittersweet maltiness and great complexity. Cons: Poor head retention.
Fuller's London Porter bills itself as the first porter, brewed since 1654. The tradition has not been wasted these 300 plus years. Few other brews have had such an influence on the versatile porter style than this mighty potion. One could spend a...
Pros: cheap, dark, and very rich taste with good complexity Cons: as with all imports, it can be less than fresh though not much of a concern due to the fact it is highly hopped
A fine porter, available only in the 1pt 2.6 fl oz. bottles, that is reasonably priced and delivers. This porter is as it advertises: rich and dark. Certainly a lot smoother than its American counterparts, Fuller's London Porter is worth a try. ...
Pros: Good English Porter! Cons: well, sometimes not too fresh!
Fuller's London Porter is quite a good beer. I do not suggest to drink it in a warm summer days, but when it is snowing or raining outside and you are siting in front of your fireplace with your friends, Fuller's London Porter is the most suitable...
Pros: Full-bodied and tasty Cons: Not particularly complex
Where have all the porters gone? Sure, you can scare some of if you look hard enough. But it seems as if this style is getting lost, buried beneath oodles of stouts and dark lagers.
Fullers, generally, speaking, makes excellent beers. This...
Pros: Complex and accurate to style Cons: not much at all
Very accurate style wise. Beer has no Roast Barley, but bags of Chocolate Malt and I think some Black. Beer has rich dark malt aroma, taste is smooth,round,full bodied and almost oily. It then progresses to dry and grainy. The finish is quick, drying and acidic (typical for London style). Best beer I've tried from Fullers,(ESB & London Pride are simply overrated).Better than Youngs one dimensional Chocolate Stout.
