London Porter

Categories: [ Beer/Fuller's ]

London_Porter

“… a unique blend of pale, crystal, brown and chocolate malts. These malts give the beer a wonderful chocolatey flavour, while the Fuggle hops ensure that the beer has a smooth finish, making London Porter a perfect accompaniment to a chocolate pudding or on its own as an after-dinner drink.”

The smell reminds me a bit of coffee, as well as some kind of ham which is coated with spices or something like that before cooking. The taste is a bit sweet and slightly bitter. With imagination, it can taste like chocolate, too. Made of malted barley.

Fuller, Smith & Turner, London, England. 5.4% alcohol.

1845

Categories: [ Beer/Fuller's ]

1845

“…first brewed in 1995 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Fuller, Smith and Turner.

Bottle conditioning, where a small amount of yeast is allowed to ferment gently in the bottle, gives 1845 the fresh, natural flavour of real ale. A blend of amber malt and Golding hops result in a fruit cake aroma, full bodied malt and dry hoppy finish.”

Sweet, with a strong taste of I'm-not-sure-what-exactly, and only slightly bitter. Made of malted barley.

Fuller, Smith & Turner, London, England. 6.3% alcohol.
