[sofakingdrunk66]

Great review Denis i love Fullers Ales but haven't tried this one..Great review..

[elharlock]

Love it. Good job, Denis. I wish we still got the bottles here.

[StumpyJoeJr]

Love this beer. Definitely my favorite traditional porter.

[DenisLD]

@StumpyJoeJr Do you get it in bottles or cans? Or both? +)

[StumpyJoeJr]

@DenisLD I've only seen it bottles. I used to get 500 or 550ml bottles of it but I can only find it in six packs.

[DenisLD]

@StumpyJoeJr Yeah, cans are very rare, (In fact, I've only seen them in Toronto) whileas those smaller bottles are mostly sold in America. I like the 500ml serving size +) Cheers!

if it is taken out of "a typical fridge in north america",i would suggest leaving it on the counter for closer to 20 minutes!

i like this beer too.it might of also been one of the first porters i (also) drank.

[DenisLD]

@qchome +) What's the difference between typical fridges around the world? I know that mine isn't set to a very cold temperature, unless it's +35 C outside. Cheers!

[qchome]

@DenisLD it has been my experience that people in europe keep their fridges at a much lower level then americans do.continuing,i know europeans who keep cheese and/or butter on the kitchen table or the pantry for 12 hours a day,i know brits who keep beer in the pantry.i don't know anyone from north america who does the same.

[DenisLD]

@qchome Yeah, that's true. I reckon it has to do with the fact that Europeans are super-economical, while Americans are more carefree about saving energy, space, etc.

[DenisLD]

@DenisLD That's not to say I prefer one or the other specifically. I like balance +)
