Two more Porterhouse bottled beers

Oyster Stout is a beer I enjoy on tap, though not as much as Wrasslers and so I tend to order a Wrasslers instead. In bottle format it is quite lovely an better than plain in my opinion, or at least I prefer it to plain but that does not necessarily make it better. This is a good solid mild stout, less bitter and a little sweeter than many. The Oysters seem to impart an almost lemony flavour which is quite refreshing.


Porter House Red is a basic Irish Red Ale. Very little aroma, perhaps a little sweet toffee. There is also little to make it interesting to the taste buds but it is a good session ale. If I had to pick an Irish Red Ale to drink, this would be second on my list to O'Haras Red. Actually make that third as I would take the Carlow brewed Aldi version over this as well.

So far with the porterhouse beers I have had in the bottle, I think they are slightly overcarbonated. I could be imagining it of course but they seem more carbonated than on tap.
