Perhaps the roasty and radiant warmth of a Plutonium Porter would be a better suggestion to assuage your finely honed palate. Remember that careful interrogation of your server can reap tasty rewards. When in doubt, ask for a sample. No one wins when thirsty patrons get stuck with an ale they find unpalatable. Let them know what you think of their products.
Feedback is critical to brewers.
They work hard to create distinct beers, and input from those who sample them is invaluable. Customers who are tapped in to a pub's brewer have transcended from mere beer hunters to patrons who can help shape the types of ales offered at any given establishment. It does a brewery no good to produce fine ales of a variety that their clientele doesn't have a taste for. As such, customer input is always encouraged and frequently incorporated into the brewing strategy.
