3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask (handpump), Market Porter, Southwark. Mid brown colour. No head to speak of. Quite full mouthfeel for a session bitter, but nicely clean too. Some caramel notes. Dries out on the finish although bitterness is modest. Not spectacular but pretty decent.

Cask Handpump at the Coachmaker’s Arms, Hanley 04/11/2006
Hoppy aroma. Bronze golden coloured and hoppy with some bitterness in a malt finish.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask@The Market Porter, Borough, London. Didn’t find this too hoppy at all. Some grainy malt, with a slightly citric, bitter hop character. Thought this was quite balanced between hop and malt.

Hand pump, Market Porter. Very hoppy, full bitter flavour with a lingering finish. I liked this one.
2.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Market Porter. Hoppy beer. Good English hops - bitter and earthy with a long lingering burr. Nice, but a little too rough for my taste.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask handpump, Market Porter. Copper colour with thin white head. Standard bitter. Nice malt/hop balance, with a great hop finish. Maybe a bit of stilton in there somewhere. Certainly the best bitter on show that evening.
