Other than to say that that's an excellent selection, I don't think I can comment usefully.

After an afternoon fighting my way round Tescos with a trolley load of festive booze , i am now happy to sample the delights of The Orkney Brewerys Dark Island ale . Lovely stuff. Taking one for the team i think its called.

Spill the Beans Coffee Porter (4.4% abv, Brains, on behalf of "The Great British Brewing Company")
Another from Aldi - 99p per 330ml bottle. Quite a nice, fruity aroma, and then smoke and coffee, with a fair bit of vanilla-ish creamy flavour following, along with a hint of fruitiness. A bit over carbonated too, I'd say - not in an overflowing the glass sort of a way, but in a prickly sort of way that makes the mouthfeel a bit odd. The "harder edges" of the taste are smoothed out by that fudgey vanilla taste a bit more than I like, personally, and West Indies Porter would still be my dark beer pick, I think. This isn't half bad, although that creaminess would be a bit much for more than 330ml.

Dan is the son of the owner of Knott Bar and he's started brewing in Piccadilly and as the bar tender said, you're not a real brewer if you're not brewing in Piccadilly.
It's really rather good. Classic IPA.

I'd be more than delighted to drop the nut on rich but if you're nearer and want to oblige please be my guest.
