Fuller's Black Cab Stout

This is a beer brewed to recreate the porters and stouts that quenched the thirst of 19th-century workers. There are rich aromas of coffee, dark chocolate, and a toasty depth, yet the flavour's lighter on its feet than more burly brews. A flicker of red berries and gentle hop spice brings a refreshing edge against that roasted malt backbone. It's the perfect balance, finishing with a pleasing, moreish dryness.

For over 170 years, Fuller's has been a stalwart of British brewing. Founded in 1845 by the eponymous John Fuller, it remained family-run until Asahi took the reins in 2019. But fear not, Fuller's hasn't lost its identity. Their Chiswick brewery in West London still churns out classics like the ubiquitous London Pride, an amber ale as reliable as a London bus. Fuller's remains a champion of traditional British brewing culture, proving that heritage and quality can still thrive in a changing world.
