A Mes rate: Cask at the Marble Arch.
Cleanish gold with a good white head and lace and decent condition. Lovely earthy and grassy balance in the nose with some faint mineral notes. Similar flavour but there is a slight fatty, meaty note that lets it down. Hints of tobacco and leather in the finish. Not bad by any means but I’ve had better from Bank Top.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask conditioned at Fleetwood Beer Fest 2010. Amber with white head. Quite a grainy malty beer, husky, earthy then with a drying leafy hop note. It gets to a good level of bitterness making it pretty drinkable.

Cask, Market Porter. ’I’m the wyz son, and I haven’t had any dinner......’
Erm, yeah, pallid amber colour with a small white head. Aroma not bad with decent enough traces of hop and summer fruit. Quite a bit in the flavour for a beer this strength, with a reasonable malt/hop balance. Solid effort.
