Visits Details
08 Dec 2012 (Alenomore)
17:45 visit. Lull before the (noisy) storm here. Ale range looked good, but, disappointingly, only two available, which soon became zero, well before me and the chaps departed at 22:30...
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Clootie Dumpling | 4.30 | | Very nice. Got two pints in before it expired! |
| Adnams - Shingle Shells | 3.90 | | Another decent ale. Also sold out soon after this one. |
| Stonehenge - Rudolph | 5.00 | Not Tried | N/A |
| Skinner's - Jingle Knocker | 5.50 | Not Tried | N/A |
| Cotleigh - Red Nose Reinbeer | 4.50 | Not Tried | N/A |

03 Dec 2012 (Alenomore)
14:30 visit. With an early trap from work and two pre-booked appointments fulfilled, time to check on this place again! Ominously quiet but a good Xmas range on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skinner's - Jingle Knocker | 5.50 | | Not bad but not what I'd expected at this abv. |
| Arkell's - Noël Ale (superseded by 5% version) | 5.50 | | Again, very good. |
| Mordue - Tinsel Toon | 4.30 | | Top class, nice dark bitter. |

| Lymestone - Pudding Stone (superseded by 4.4%) | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bath Ales - Hefeweizen Hare | 4.70 | | Top condition. The one ale of any real note tonite. |
16 Nov 2012 (Alenomore)
18:30 visit. Lull before the Friday crush at this time. Virtually back to bog-standard ales now, but, not surprisingly, a b/f ale that I still need to sample is "coming soon"?

08 Nov 2012 (Alenomore)
14:30 visit. Busy enough with curry club on. One new ale here today and only the fifth change since last Saturday here. Waiting for new ales to appear in this place is akin to waiting for emergency dental treatment! It'll be worth the wait when the time comes....
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Peter's - Fruit Beer | 3.60 | | Lovely. Very pronounced, zest, citrusy notes from the grapefruit. |
| Box Steam - Ghost Train | 4.80 | | A new ale. In good condition. Very refreshing. |
| Harviestoun - Wild Hop Gold | 4.00 | | The ale of the day here. One of Harvietouns better efforts. |
| Mordue - Lubelski | 4.50 | | Very good. |
| Exmoor - Fox | 4.20 | | I'm sure this should be better than this pint. Nothing of note. |
| Black Wolf (formerly Traditional Scottish Ales (TSA)) - Silver Mist | 4.00 | | Has a certain something going on here. Very dry I thought.Sampled another pint to check out this unique taste from this Scottish brewer. |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Birra Del Borgo Tutto Fa Brodo | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Oakleaf (now see Fallen Acorn entries) - Liberty Boat | 5.00 | Not Tried | Wanted to sample this good un' again, alas, now just gone off. |
06 Nov 2012 (Alenomore)
14:30 visit. Three new ales spotted today. Three pints ordered due to very slow service with too many bod's wanting tea/coffee?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakleaf (now see Fallen Acorn entries) - Liberty Boat | 5.00 | | Another top ale. Pronounced and lingering bitter finish. Ale of the day. |
| Mordue - Lubelski | 4.50 | | Much better. Full flavoured, aromatic, with these unique hops |
| Black Wolf (formerly Traditional Scottish Ales (TSA)) - Silver Mist | 4.00 | | Odd but pleasant, dry taste. Typical TSA. |
| Exmoor - Fox | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Birra Del Borgo Tutto Fa Brodo | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

| White Horse - War Horse | 4.90 | Not Tried |

19:00 visit. Even quieter tonite in this, the towns first JD. One new ale noted.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| White Horse - War Horse | 4.90 | | What a lovely ale. Dark, full flavoured, with very pronounced caramel and toffee notes. Top condition here tonite for this new ale. |
| JW Lees (see also Lees) - Moonraker | 6.50 | | The lovely young and very knowledgable serving wench was very keen for me to try this. She was enthusiastic and able to describe each ale on tonite. Not often you meet a woman this young who know's there ales! This sample, as per Mr Pirrips' notes, is a stonker of an ale. Top condition here with a lovely clinging frothy head. Always good to sample this one. |
| St Peter's - Fruit Beer Grapefruit | 4.70 | | I tried to "convince" the lovely young serving wench that this is an excellant breakfast tipple. She was not impressed... |
| Hook Norton - Lion (aka Cotswold Lion) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Jersey (now called Liberation) - Liberation Rouge | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Birra Del Borgo Tutto Fa Brodo | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
