Fuller's 180th Anniversary Ale
The 180th Anniversary Ale was brewed for Fuller's 180th anniversary at the Griffin Brewery. It is a strong, bottle-conditioned porter brewed from Pale, Extra Dark Crystal, Brown and Chocolate malt over Fuggles hops. Deep chocolate leads the flavour, joined by raisin and burnt sugar from the Extra Dark Crystal malt, while the Brown malt adds a dry, nutty edge. The beer is dark and layered, with a warming depth through to the finish.
