On tap at The Porterhouse, Covent Garden, London.
Pale golden coloured, small white head, bready nose. Very watery, weak hoppy and fruity taste with notes of hey and herbs. Such a great Porterhouse dark beers and such a lousy lagers.

Pours black with tiny head. Nice burned aroma with coffe, chocolate, liquerice and burned rubber. Good burned flavor but unbalenced with perfurmed and bitter finish.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours black with explosive rocky mocha head and crazy sheet lacing. The aroma has a moment of roasty to burnt malts before a big malted-fig-cotton-ball smell rears up. Odd. The taste starts with mild dark fruitiness from figs, dates and prunes before roasty, mild chocolate malts, malt balls, some vanilla and burnt malts join the fray. Yum. It ends with mostly malt notes and some rich dark chocolate.

Draught @ Porterhouse, London. Medium yellow color with a average, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, fruit, light yeasty, toffee, butter. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft.

Has a quickly dissipating head, but a nice golden body to compensate. Slight lemony aroma. There is a little cherry taste so far as I could figure and a bunch of bread. Some hops. Citrus taste is extant as well. A lager that is definitely complex enough. Seems to me to be a bit under-rated on this website.

Has a creamy off white head like all other Irish ales on tap. Brownish red color to it. Mostly bready with some floral aroma. Rather malty right up front and there are definitely hops as well. Balanced well enough, but not one of the best Irish ales, which I drank.

Off-white head, with a dark brown body. Caramel and roasted malt aromas. Lots of roasted malts in the taste along with the bitter chocolate and the coffee. Noticable hops in the taste as well. More bitter than most stouts are methinks. I expected more, but I got something respectable.

I am a vegetarian, but I had to try it... sorry... oysters. Off white creamy head. Dark brown coloration. Normal stout aroma. Very little oyster flavor actually, so I don’t really think that it lived up to the name and hence made my breaking of my dietary choices a vain pursuit. Standard stout taste with the coffee and chocolate malts.

Cask @ Porterhouse, London. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Roasted malty fruity aroma with some hoppy hints. Roasted malty caramel flavor with some hoppy hints. Long roasted malty finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.
