Draught@brew pub, Dublin. Very dark ruby, steady creamy tan head. Cold coffee in the nose. Medium-bodied. Good roasty flavor with long hoppy aftertaste. Balanced, tasty porter. As I sampled this in Dublin - I would say something what Guinness should be.

Draught at Porterhouse, Covent Garden with Yogi Beera, Pivo, ChrisO and Kook. Too cold to get a good aroma, but I was assured by the others that it smelt of sweaty shoes. Some red berry fruit, not a lot of other flavour. Creamy and a bit bland
