The regular Dark Island is one of my favourites, and this is just another level.
Its richer, stronger, and smoother, a good sipping beer to be savoured.

This is a pretty standard bitter, nothing special, but certainly not horrible.

A nice brown ale. quite a lot of flavour for a relatively weak beer. Quite fruity and nutty. Good pint.

This is quite possibly the best Plum Porter I have tried. It just to say pips Titanics offering, due to a bit more in the flavour department, its just as smooth, but this has a distinctly licouriciness to it, whilst still being super fruity. Tastes a little like those Blackcurrent and Liquurice hard boiled sweets. Very nice.

A very nice and refreshing pale ale with a lemony twist. Its smooth and quite flat. Not too hoppy. Really nice summer beer.

Coffee & Vanilla Porter.
Nice, I can taste the coffee and the vanilla gives a nice sweetness. Though its not as sweet as some. Generally a really good drink.

Imperial Hazlenut and Coffee Milk Stout.
This is a complex one. . . Initially it smells proper strongly of coffee, and the first taste is the same. Its strong, smooth and sweet, possibly a little too sweet, its that kind of sweetness you get with any milk stout, gotta be honest, that sicklyness became a little overpowering about half way through.
Still an awesome beer and definately one to try

This is one of my go-to’s. . . when you walk into a chain pub, and this is the only real beer they sell. . . I’m all over it.
Its really tasty, distinctive, malty and smooth (when on tap), it can be a bit gassy from a bottle.
Only negative on this one. . . more than one pint and I get struck with heartburn.
Would never stop me drinking it however!

Right, I am going to get straight to the point. . . this is shit!
Its cheap as fuck and I can see why!
It smells revolting, and I am not one for being bothered about such things, but it hits you as soon as you put it near your nose, honestly, for lack of a better comparison, the nearest thing I that springs to mind is dog shit. . . seriously, weve all been there, you get in your car. . . drive along a bit then get hit by this overwhelming stench. . . thats it. . . right there!
As if this wasnt bad enough, the beer itself tastes awful, like I have drank so many bitters and they are genuinely lovely, this is like ronseal. . . it really is bitter. Its just generally not nice at all, avoid at all costs.
