General Thoughts:

London Black Cab Stout is a really deep, full flavoured, rich Stout, bursting with flavours of deep roasted malt and coffee. There is a real smoothness to this beer, which makes it a very easy to drink stout. Sometimes stouts can be very heavy and rich, making them hard to drink, however London Black Cab is not like this, lighter than other stouts and still packs that deep, full flavour. This beer also has a warming quality to it when your drinking it, this for me is always a good thing, makes me want to continue drinking it, time after time. There is also a nice subtle coffee and chocolate undertone to this beer, this just helps to add to the developed taste of the beer. London Black Cab Stout has no carbonation, making its texture smooth and easy drinking. This beer will not disappoint, especially if you enjoy a good stout, or just fancy something different to your normal beer of choice. I would definitely recommend this beer to you all as one to try, it is a really pleasant drinking beer. On the whole London Black Cab Stout is a really enjoyable, deep, full flavoured beer, packed full of nice roasted malt and coffee flavours that will keep you interested the whole time your drinking it. All in all I would recommend that you give this beer a try, nice stout from the guys at the Fuller's brewery.

London Porter

Hey Everyone, Today we are back to the 12 beers of Christmas, If you didnt manage to check out last nights post check it out here this post offers a great Christmas gift suggestion. The beer in question today isn't technically a Christmas / Seasonal beer, however it fits perfectly into the criteria for me. Hope you all enjoy !!!

Beer Name:
London Porter

Brewery:

Fullers

Brewed and Bottled:
Fuller, Smith & Turner PLC
Chiswick Lane South,
London,
W4 2QB
United Kingdom

Alcoholic Percentage:

5.4% Vol

Measure:

500ml

Taste:

Very Chocolaty, Bitter, Smooth, Refreshing, Deep 

Colour:

Dark Brown

Odour:

Slight Chocolate, Coffee

General Thoughts:

London Porter is a great, really deep, full flavoured beer. This packs a huge amount of flavour, the main one being of chocolate. There is a very prominent chocolate taste, with also a slight taste of coffee. This deep, dark flavour comes from the roasted malt used in the beer. This is a very smooth beer, with little carbonation, giving this the perfect quality in a refreshing beer. London Porter also has a real warming quality to it, something that would be perfect for the cold winter months and nights that we are currently in. This beer doesn't taste overly alcoholic considering it is a slightly stronger beer than the average porter, going back to how the original porters once were. London Porter isn't strictly a Winter / Seasonal beer, however I have chosen it as one of my Christmas beers as it has all the characteristics that I would look for in a Christmas beer, deep, full flavoured with a warming quality. On the whole this beer is a great, smooth drinking beer, which is packed full of rich, dark malted flavours, bringing a warming quality. This beer is a real treat, smooth in texture and taste, a beer that is well worth the money. Overall a really great Christmas Beer selection.
