[Draft at Porterhouse, London] A deep red beer with a beutiful lasting creamy off-white head. The aroma is slightly sour malty with hints of roastyness. The flavor is sweet malty with loads of caramel notes, but also roasted malt and hops giving it a fresh bitter end. The mouthfeel is very creamy.

Plenty pints chugged at the Covent Garden Porterhouse back in the 2002-2004 period when I lived in London.
Clear golden, crisp and clean, decent enough easy drinking no thoughts required logger bier.

(Cask) Jet black. Dense nitro-like head. Roasted barely; black, leftover coffee aroma. Soft, mild stout-roasted barley, going over imperceptibly in a bitingly bitter, but nice STOUT. Mouthfeel is thick and rich, alcohol prominent. Gets a bit harsh in the end. Prize-stout. Great - beats the Guinnesses.

Very dark brown. Very fresh malts - it’s been a while since I smelled malts this fresh in a stout. Very toasty, rich, pungent nose. Delicious, with some smokey ancho earthy finish.

Amber; earthy, slightly pear-like hoppiness. I guessed fuggles, but I'm not familiar with sticklbract, so learn a new thing everyday, I guess.

Copper. Faint nose. Mild taste, just an accent of toast and caramel. It’s okay.

Golden. Thin head. Slightly herbal aroma. Earthy, with some bitterness but again a skunky mushroomy character like their other lagers.
