The beer is excellent, as good (better in some cases) than a pub pint.
Really smooth, keeps a nice head all the way and not as 'thin' as cans/bottles if that makes sense. 2 litres a torp, loads of variety - Heineken, Cruzcampo, Belgian beers (Affligem), the amazing Delirium Tremens & La Chouffe and plenty of others. Even Strongbow Dark Fruits and Newcastle Brown if that's your thing.
Apparently the Heineken is a different recipe from the UK and it really is great - it's actually got a full-flavoured taste.
The only thing I can't get right is the pour. I've tried chilling the glass as per instructions, tilted it varying degrees, different glass, letting the torp settle but always seem to end up with half a glass of head. A friend has one and his partner used to be a barmaid and even she can't get it right.
