Seventh visit of the outing: Very busy on arrival early evening and where I caught up with some of the east London crowd of real ale imbibers and suippers who were still firing on their batteries. Due to being so busy, the longest wait so far but we got there in the end with two over-stretched barmaids attired in black-coloured waist coats giving it their all. A seat to be had amongst the outing of remaining real ale stalwarts of some six.

| Milestone - Newark Castle Brown | 4.50 | | Presented with good head and lacing and lasting all the way almost on this brown ale from Milestone Brewery which only got its skates on in 2004, with their first drops reaching thirsty souls in 2005, and out of Cromwell village, on the Great North Road, just a few miles north of Newark, Nottinghamshire, and naming their whole lark after an old roadside milestone. A malty first hit on this mahogany-brown hued ale that glowed like a newly polished leather boot under the gas lamps. A fruity bitterness rising from traditional English foliage, predominantly Challenger and Fuggles hops: Challenger behind a crisp, smooth bitterness, while Fuggles provided me with a woody, earthy and herbal flavours. I noted an assault of subtle, dark winter berries right before it hit my whistle. A malty note prevailing from its traditional British Pale Maris Otter malt combined with heavy dollops of Crystal and Chocolate malts. The pale grain lending a sweet, bready biscuit base for me, while the chocolate and crystal malts dropped massive punches of deeply roasted cocoa, toasted nuts and sweet toffee. My tongue was delighted with a velvety and unashamedly nutty foundation that nearly blew my neckcloth off! I was left with a lingering crisp bitter aftertaste sailing out. Served in slap-up form. |

12th and final visit of the outing: Some of the South Hertfordshire CAMRA branch were here. They entered into good banter with me as recognised seeing me earlier and now over my final real ale and in this modest single-bar pub at 126 Victora Street, just some 5 minutes from St Albans' City railway station. Branch pub of the year in 2024. Busy but not overly
and met with friendly, prompt service from the bar staff member for my mid-evening finale visit of the outing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Tring - Shear Fright | 4.40 | | Head and lacing, very good, and lasting the whole way on this Tring-brewed ESB. A caramel-infused malty first hit. A bitterness rising and a sweet maltiness winning over before ebbing out on the tide. |

Busy for my Saturday mid-evening visit but very close to the station but a good 10 minutes walk from the centre of St Albans. Friendly and prompt service for the 3 real ales on and a seat to be had.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mighty Oak - The Old Man and The Sea | 4.10 | | Very good head and lacing. A real bitter and long-lasting mouthfeel for this stout. |
