Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Fuller's London Porter if you want classic restraint and drinkability,
Simcoe Porter if you want modern hop presence and richness.
Fuller's is the session-friendly choice—it won't wear you out after a couple. Simcoe leans into American craft sensibilities with more weight and assertiveness. The IBU difference is negligible; it's really about Fuller's elegance versus Simcoe's intensity.

Tasting notes
Fuller's London Porter
Fuller's London Porter tastes like what a porter should be without trying too hard. There's chocolate and a touch of dried fruit, but it stays composed—no sharp edges, no ego. At 5.4%, it drinks lighter than it sounds, which is exactly the point. This is the beer you order when you want to think, talk, or just sit with something satisfying for hours.
Simcoe Porter
Simcoe Porter hits different—fuller bodied, noticeably warmer, with a subtle bitter backbone that lingers. You get dark fruit, a whisper of roast, and that hop character threading through without dominating. It's got the structure to pair with food and enough complexity that you'll actually notice changes as it warms up.
