    I've always found Best to be generally but not entirely sweet. The Armada on Saturday had a huge hop flavour that dominated although there was malt as well. I thought it had little resemblance to Best and my expectation was just a stronger version of it.
    I've not been to either of the London Harvey's pubs, maybe I should give them a go and try the Armada there. I will almost certainly be visiting Crowborough, Uckfield and Redhill some time this year so there's three I can try and one of them is new for me!

    Unless there is a newer one that's better the Cricketers is their top pub for me.

    Elland Padang Coffee Porter in The Baum of course.

    After the hoo hah about 1872 Porter on another thread this one proves yet again that Elland are masters of dark ales.

    Smooth, with lots of coffee flavour and at 5% a bit easier on the head than 1872.
    A pub is for life not just for Christmas
