Draught @ Porterhouse, WC2 London. Black color with a small creamy long lastng head. Aroma is hoppy, roadsted malty, and it has a unique aroma and taste, possibly because of the Oysters (saltwater).

Draft at the London location. At the bar, this was listed at 5.0%. An unclear orange beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of bananas and wheat. The flavor is sweet and artificially candy like with notes of orange, banana, and bubblegum. Too sweet - and too artificial in its impression.
