Number one on our list of top porters from around the world, Fuller's is the most well rounded and enjoyable of any we've ever tried. As you would expect from the much celebrated Fuller's line of beers, their porter is an extremely complex and smooth beer that is an absolute must try for any dark beer lover.
Be careful when opening the can, because for some reason all of the Fuller's cans get all spilly when you crack the tab, almost like it's been shaken. Let it settle down and warm up, then pour it into a glass to enjoy. This beer has all the flavour you would expect from a porter, as with each sip you can pick out all the different flavours; caramel, espresso, chocolate, sweet grain and marshmallow. Although itt's very sweet it still retains the character of a dark beer, which is what makes it so special. Another fine quality of this beer is its rich creaminess, as it seems to coat your tongue and mouth with a velvety layer of awesomeness.
This beer becomes even more complex when it warms up, so don't drink it straight out of the fridge. As strange as this sounds, this beer really does make us want to curl up in front of the fireplace in a velvet housecoat, with a Christmas movie, a cigar, a fine woman, and a large majestic dog in the background.
