MARSTON'S

Bass (4.4%): The iconic British bitter, now brewed under contract for global giant Anheuser-Busch InBev. A complex, nutty best bitter, with subtle hop undertones from Fuggles and Goldings varieties.
Burton Bitter (3.8%): A clean tasting bitter with malty, biscuity flavours, balanced by a delicate hop character and finish from Goldings and Fuggles varieties.
Long Hop (4%): A light coloured, refreshing beer, crafted with English hops to give a crisp bitterness and fresh, hoppy aroma. An August 2010 special brew. (brewery notes)
Merrie Monk (4.5%): A strong mild with a malty sweet flavour.
Old Empire IPA (5.7%): Strong tasting but smooth drinking, this is a proper, old style IPA with a satisfying, hoppy, bitter finish. The all-important hops are Cascade, Fuggles and Goldings. (DN: 12-01-07)
Pedigree (4.5%): A strong and distinctive aroma, slightly sulphury, is followed by a bitter hop flavour, a full malty body and undertones of fruit, leading to a smooth finish. Hops are Fuggles and Goldings.

Single Malt (4.2%): Golden Promise Barley is the single malt in question, matched with Fuggles, Goldings and Target hops. A smooth, mellow, amber beer which, says the brewer, is as distinctive as a single malt whisky.
Sunbright Ale (3.8%): A classic Burton pale ale, dry, nutty and light with bitter, crisp overtones. A special in spring 2008.
Sweet Chariot (4.8%)

MEANTIME

Chocolate 6.5%: If ever a beer did "what it says on the tin", this is the one. Complex roasted malt flavours give an exciting, yes chocolatey taste, which is not surprising as there is dark chocolate in the brew. A smooth, velvety finish climaxes in a bitter, almost coffee-ish note. Very satisfying indeed. (DN: 05-03-06)
Coffee Beer (6%)
Coffee Porter (5%): Rarely available in cask, an award-winning dark beer. Coffeee bitterness from Fairtrade Arabica Bourbon beans is balanced by sweetness from vanilla and dark malts. It is hopped with Fuggles. (30-11-08)
Helles Bier (4.4%), India Pale Ale (7.5%)
London Pale Ale (4.3%): Maris Otter malt marries with American and English hops to create a very tasty, citrus fruity pale ale that's a real thirst quencher. Named one of the world's top 50 beers in the 2007 Internationl Beer Challenge. (DN: 01-03-09)
London Porter (6.5%), Old Smoked Bock (6.5%)
Organic Pilsner (5.4%): I didn't think a British brewery could make an authentic Pilsner quite as good as this: I was wrong. You only get 330ml in the bottle, but as they say, it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it. Organic barley and Perle and Hersbrcker hops create an authentic Pilsner sensation which, straight from the fridge, is going to be as good as it gets on a summer day, lazing in the garden or on the beach. (DN: 19-02-06)
Pale Ale (4.7%), Raspberry Grand Cru (6.5%), Vienna Lager (5%), Wheat Grand Cru (6.3%)
