"This is a bottle conditioned traditional English Porter. It comes in a green and gold presentation box, ideal to give as a gift. On opening it pours nicely with a decent head but isn't over carbonated. The colour is dark with a distict redish tint at the rim. It smells of roasted grains and caramelised sugar with fruit and malt in the background. Gorgeous taste, burnt sugar with malt and quite bitter hops in the finish."
"Dark and inviting in the glass with a soft beige long lasting head clinging to the glass as each mouthful is savoured. Coffee and chocolate on the nose and on the palette, sweet maltiness in the mid-turn contrasted out but beautifully balanced by a roasted bitterness on the back end and a long lasting after taste in the mouth. This ale is a triumph and a fitting tribute to the years of experience and knowledge Fullers have gained in the brewing business."
"Have had a few of these and stored a lot more. A beautiful porter. Understand completely why Fullers have put this in a special box. It’s a special beer."
"I loved this beer, the first of the trio I chose. Not quite so full as the other two, but still a lovely satisfying drink."
"A great porter is rare. This one is superb. Not too bitter, with a nut flavour, and the roasted barley giving a dark, black colour. The finish is sweet after the initial bitter, nutty flavour hits the tongue. It's very moreish, so be careful! At 7.5% ABV it might take you unaware!"
"This is a very nice porter and goes up a notch from the standard ones My wife is also a fan of the Fullers Porter range so it’s an all round winner"
"Not often I drink an eight quid beer. But i took a punt on this by mail order. And its worth every penny. Smooth, flavoursome and satisfying. Try it. And no, I dont work for Fullers."
"Fuller’s 180th Anniversary Porter is a really enjoyable, rich and characterful beer. It has a deep, dark appearance and a lovely roasted aroma, with hints of coffee, chocolate and toasted malt. The flavour is smooth and full-bodied, with plenty of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, caramel and a gentle bitterness. There’s a nice balance between the sweeter malt flavours and the roasted character, giving it a satisfying depth without being too heavy. It’s the kind of porter that’s perfect for taking your time over, with a smooth, lingering finish that leaves you wanting another sip. A fitting anniversary beer from Fuller’s and a great choice for anyone who enjoys dark, malty and flavourful beers."
"A fantastic brew, shame I missed it when it was on tap in the pub."
"Great tasting, will happily re order."
