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.

Draught@Porterhouse, London. Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is malts and hops, quite dull. Flavour is really unpleasant mix of hops and malts. Not even refreshing this one. Really bad and unpleasant in my opinion.
