Selfie![/caption]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, a tremendous accolade to our brewing team. Rich, dark and complex, at 5.4% ABV the beer has an outstanding depth of flavour.
It is brewed from a blend of Brown, Crystal and Chocolate malts for a creamy delivery balanced by traditional Fuggles hops.
500ml bottle of a 5.4% ABV beer, which is around 2.2 standard dink units. 162 calories a serve in this. And oh its 33 IBU's which is right in the middle range for Porter.
TASTING NOTES
Pour is clear dark with a creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, sweet brown sugar, and a little cream. Has a very creamy mouth feel. Low carbonation. Flavors include a full roasted barley, lightly sweet chocolate malt, light cream. Damn fine brew. Full flavored and smooth.
Riiight..... I'm having this in the al; new trendy "Craft Beer" Mason jar glass. For no reason than they were cheap as chips when I picked up some beers earlier.
Lovely dark chocolate coffee and rich aroma on opening.
Dark thick pour with a fleeting head. Still lots of coffee and chocolate aroma.
Interestingly bitter on the tongue but all over and as a part of the drink and not separate to, if that makes sense.
Nice soft wash of the coffee and chocolate in this. Makes this a very easy to drink and very easy to enjoy beer. It could do with a tweak in the carbonation, I thought it was under but then I think it's over. I'm hard to please tonight.
The pdubyah-o-meter rates this as very good at 8 on it's random and unfathomable scale of things, I would have liked more head, slightly tweak the carbonation, and for me the palate although really nice is really compressed into a middle, and there isn't a long finish
Its ok though and made me smile more than frown.
Musically I was with the Palma Violets, an English band from Lambeth, London.
