"Ideal present"
"I bought this as a part of a good value three-pack of Anniversary Ale, Imperial Stout and Vintage Ale 2025. At 7. 0% is is a good strong ale, and tastes like one. The flavour is not overpowering and the strength could be underestimated, but you quickly realise that it shouldn't be! To be sipped, not quaffed. (I have recently just drunk a Vintage Ale 2004. Tasted good though 22 years old! I still have another one. )"
"Fuller’s 180th Anniversary Porter is a rich, robust porter with a complex malt composition. Flavour wise, it features deep chocolate notes and burnt sugar, complemented by the earthy, herbal bitterness of traditional hops. The beer provides a creamy mouthfeel with lasting hints of liquorice, raisin, and dark stone fruits. While it is immediately enjoyable when fresh, I am eager to see how it evolves over time through bottle conditioning."
"My husband said it was incredible; I didn't get a look-in!!!!"
"I was bought this as part of a present, and although I do not often leave reviews, I enjoyed this so much that I thought I would share with the group. It was a really nice pint"
"A smooth-tasting treat for a special occasion."
"After the vintage ales I wasn't expecting anything special from this ale; boy was I wrong. It's in its own class and I cannot wait to try it again."
"Wasn't too sure when I bought this porter as I am not a big fan of the London Porter but I really liked it and I have order some more. Great flavour went down a treat. I hope they keep brewing this one."
"Not their finest hour by any means but the bar is set very high. Nice enough, a very drinkable effort, just not their best."
"Excellent beers and the glass makes a wonderful addition to enjoying savouring the brews! Highly recommended."
