Porterhouse - Celebration Stout

A few years ago the Porterhouse celebrated an anniversary with a special stout brew. It has gone down in legend, the stores keep a single bottle for display purposes only.

Now, with their new bottling plant they have released a 2010 Celebration Stout, et voila, here it is

Its a lovely dark, 7% stout. less carbonation than some of their other bottles, which is good, the plain and oyster were both very carbonated, overly for me. This is just right. Its thick on the pour and choclatey and liquorice and just delicious.

I have two more put away :-)
