Quite busy with a mix of local and beer festival tourists.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandstone - Onyx | 4.00 | | Described as a Welsh Black Ale, this black beer has hop bitterness and chocolate maltiness, making it difficult to categorize. It's not a mild or stout, so black bitter or porter maybe. My score 15/20. |

Quiet and a bit chilly in the main bar on a Thursday early evening – although I could have sat by the fire in the snug.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Owenshaw Mill - Katy's Blonde | 3.60 | | A very pale beer with a predominately fruity taste, overlain with sharp hops. |
| Offbeat - Outlandish Pale | 3.90 | | Pale, smooth and very heavily, perhaps harshly, hopped. |
| Ossett - Silver King | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Distant Hills (was Howard Town) - Robin's Nest | 5.20 | Not Tried |

Fairly busy late Friday afternoon. Additional beer on a small stillage.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dunham Massey - Chocolate Cherry Mild | 3.80 | | Superb cherry flavour, dominant but still with some chocolate malt in the background. Finish is reminiscent of cherry liqueur. A classic. My score 18/20. |
