I generally prefer dark beers over light beers. If I see a porter or a stout that I haven't tried before, it becomes the first beer I try.
Since these beers are not very common in Turkey, dark beers especially catch my interest. Fuller's is probably the foreign brand that offers the most variety of beers in Turkey, but except for a few beers, I didn't really enjoy the taste of these beers.
Even though London Porter is a dark beer, I can't say that I liked it. It feels like something is missing in the taste and some bad flavors are overpowering. It gives me a taste that is reminiscent of the old times, but it doesn't hold up well anymore. It's like back when there weren't thousands of porters around 50 years ago, it might have been drinkable, but now is it really necessary?
Of course, who am I to criticize London Porter, which receives high ratings. Yes, it's a classic beer, but I have tried porters that leave nicer tastes in my mouth.
I can compare it to this; classic cars are nice, but currently no one wants to go on a long journey with them.
