An observation of the Emerald cask beer serving on the night,they had 2 handpumps,1 with a sparkler and 1 with none. The pints I got came from the onr with no sparkler and served up by TIM <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> .

I think the other beer engine was reserved for Perfect Storm, but had an Emerald pump clip on it until James took it off on Friday.

Yep. There was two pumps, both with an Emerald tag on them. One of the volunteers was serving the Perfect Storm before he was supposed to, thinking it was Emerald. Not really his fault as there was an Emerald tag on both, although I did have to point out to him that the beer was a totally different colour to the Emerald and it was obviously a dark beer.

What's the general opinion of the Perfect Storm? I wasn't really a fan tbh. Think I might have expected too much from it, or maybe it'd work better from a normal tap or from the bottle?

As a porter I thought it was lovely... until someone told me it was an IPA. <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

Haha. I thought it tasted like somebody had taken an English Brown Ale and mixed it with an IPA, but not in a good way!

One of the Emerald tags was turned away from the customer but someone in front of me specifically asked for a drink from that tap before it was announced. When I saw the colour I went for one too. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->
It was yeasty but I enjoyed it.
