The English are not well known for their food, rightfully so… It is rather bland. Lacking in flavor, light, boring, and the list goes on. However… Their beer, that is what they get right, and Fullers is no exception. Today I give to you a beer, that for a time was the “go-to” beer in London pubs. A fine dark Porter, rich in malt flavor, not overly heavy in alcohol percentage, and better even yet, it won’t break the bank. This has been one of my favorite English porters that I have ever had. It is one of only a few beers that I would drink with chocolate, but it would go well in a stew (I prefer to drink my beer than pour it into a pot however). Anyways, with only 339 more beers to go, this one certainly falls in I would say the top 20% or so of the beers we will examine this year.
If you are a fan of Hobgoblin, Newcastle, or Guinness please give Fullers a try, I’d bet the next round that you will enjoy it.
