On a recent trip to my local purveyor, I picked up a bottle of Fuller’s London Porter as a part of a mixed six. From the Fuller’s site:
“London Porter captures the flavors of the original entire brews perfectly, although you won’t find a cloudy pint these days! Smooth, rich, and strong (5.4% alcohol by volume), London Porter is brewed from a blend of Brown, Crystal and Chocolate malts for a creamy delivery balanced by traditional Fuggles hops. Definitely worth a sip if you fancy something stronger and darker than coffee!”
I found the London Porter to have the following characteristics.
- Appearance: Black with light foam and good lacing.
- Aroma: Sweet malt, chocolate and coffee.
- Taste: A little thinner than a Guinness with a really great blend of chocolate and coffee and a slightly burnt finish.
- ABV: 5.4%
I had never had a Fuller’s and was pleasantly surprised by the London Porter. This was a very good beer.

OOOh… I haven’t had their London Porter – but I do love their London Pride. I must try this one as I love a rich coffee taste!

If you are a fan of that rich chocolate & coffee flavor, you won’t be disappointed. It might not be as thick or heavy as other chocolate porters or stouts, but I really liked the London Porter.

I agree on-tap a beer takes on a whole new character. If only I could find the London Porter on tap near me.
