Beer review: Fuller's London Porter (5.4% England: Fuller's Brewery)



The Fuller's London Porter is an Ale, more specifically a Porter. It's brewed by Fuller's Brewery, a medium-sized British independent brewery located in Chiswick, London. The company was founded in 1845 and currently produces about 26 million liters annually. The Fuller's London Porter is widely regarded as the World's Finest Porter: having won awards all over the world, London Porter is regularly voted the number one Porter on beer websites such as www.ratebeer.com. Sounds really promising!

Taste: The Fuller's London Porter is a medium/full-bodied beer with a very sophisticated and mature taste. It starts with the flavor of brown bread with notes of caramel and faint notes of sweet fruit. This is followed by a roasted, quite sweet bready flavor and the beer finishes with some chocolate, roasted coffee, smoky aromas and a faint hoppiness.

Overall, the Fuller's London Porter is an excellent beer. I'm personally into Porters and Stouts but they're easily a bit too overwhelming and demand quite a lot from the drinker. Therefore, it's easy to understand the world-wide popularity and fame of the Fuller's London Porter: it's the easiest Porter that I've ever tasted. It's easy to enjoy and yet it offers a very wide range of sophisticated and mature aromas. It's an excellent stepping-stone into the more demanding world of Imperial Stouts, which in the eyes of many beer connoisseurs are the ultimate taste experiences in these types of beer. To put it short, the Fuller's London Porter is the best porter I've ever tasted!
