Cask at Market Porter, shown as 4.2%. 27th June 2013. This is a seasonal beer for the month of June, according to website, so out of retirement? Any way, nice, refreshing and flavoursome ale, good for lunch

[500ml bottle from Alfred the Grape, Marlow] Chestnut with a large won’t-fit-in-my-glass head and a frothy mouthfeel. Rich chocolate and muscovado sugar up front, with autumn leaves and woodland mulch to follow. Walnuts in the slightly oily finish. A (slightly) richer version of the original which suffers from being bottled - think like most UK-style beers this would be much better on cask. Nevertheless, it’s pleasant enough and well balanced.
