7.5/10
Good house beer made by a local brewery. Apparently there's a Porter sometimes, I wish that was on. Still, this is a good bitter. Darker, more malty than the last. Pic: view of the Thames from the terrace.

These were all drunk very quickly yesterday, 1/3 pints, and I didn't take any notes (or lasting impressions). But this was a good English Märzen, less bitter than a German one but the softness of the cask pour might be part of that.

Deep amber with minimal foam and spot lacing. Nutty malts aroma. Malty in-mouth with lactic notes and hazelnuts. Finish is malty with notes of just-off-fresh dairy cream. Smooth mouthfeel and a medium body.
