BeerABVScoreNotes
RCH - Hewish Mild3.60ExcellentUnusually black for a West Country mild, this is full of biscuity and toffee malt flavours with some fruity hop for balance. The finish is malty and lingering. My score 17/20.

Another busy pub on a Saturday afternoon with standing room only inside.
BeerABVScoreNotes

Saltaire - Triple Choc (was Triple Chocoholic)4.80ExceptionalHad to turn down a mild for this, which is an unmissable beer. Still as chocolatey and stouty as ever. My score 20/20.
