Draught@Apple Tree Inn, Quorn. Brown beer with a reddish tinge and a very strong white head. The aroma is roasted, and the flavour is roasted and bitter. Overall a very nice drink.

Yeah well boo sucks to you all, as a quaffable pint to drink over and over, it really works. I think it has established itself as my new drink of choice, besides it beats most of the other crap they have at most pubs. Not as nice as guinness but easier to drink, the point i think, though.

UPDATED: SEP 6, 2008 Tastes just like Guinness really but not quite as good, still has the guinness bitterness and is quite nice and an interesting alternative.

A Sim rate (draft at the Turf Tavern): Smells slightly creamy and sweet... and bit like cream cheese. Very porter-like. Cherry and slightly metallic. Decent, actually. Nothing to write home about, but better than the watery British golden beers I’ve been drinking all day.

Draught, pours with the customary solid white head, and with a translucent copper body. Still the dark roasted malt and hops, and decent enough on tbe palate, although it won’t escape the accusations of being a Guinness Lite. Not as bad as I had feared, but not nearly as good as the illustrious ’brother’.

(Draught) Dark red colored, thick medium sized "Guinness-head". Aroma is lot like basic version: cream, caramel, smooth sweetness and fruitiness, hints of raspberry comes up too. Flavor is also creamy with slight hops, sweetness and caramel.

nitro tap at Niall’s in Stirling, Scotland - Pours ruby red with a hugely bubbly body. There’s a minimal caramel malt aroma. The flavor is of caramel malt and mild hops. It’s kind of bland. While it’s not a bad beer per se, I really don’t see the point.

Nitro draft at a pub in London. Clear brownish red pour, creamy off-white head. Caramel malt, light sweetness, and a bit of herbal hops. Another boring selection, but still quite drinkable. Creamy nitro body.
