Fairly typical 'Spoons in that they were displaying pump clips for beers that weren't on. Service was slow. Food was good (lasagne). Very central pub not far from the Head of Steam.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Big Lamp - XXV4.20AcceptableLots of dry malt, some subtle hop, but this beer is all about the malts.
