Friendly, dark and loud. A metal music and real ale heaven. At some point they played some speed hillbilly music. I like the place.

| Durham - John Duck | 3.80 | | Pale gold. Light body with a hint of rye or something |
| Tiny Rebel - The Full Nelson | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

Quiet in the early evening (quiet in terms of customers that is, not in volume of music). Relative calm in back bar. Specialises in dark beers. CAMRA discount claimed.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Vine (formerly Burscough) - Flat Rib Mild | 3.60 | | Black in colour and flat in condition. Decent enough flavour showing through though, with roast barley tastes. |
| Eastwood & Sanders - Elland Back | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Dancing Duck - Ducktor Who | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Full marks to this pub for carrying a mild in May, CAMRA discount too. Friendly welcome despite the rather forbearing loud metal music.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Otter - Otter Mild | 3.80 | | Ruby/brown with a bittersweet malty character. Some hop in the finish which is quite dry. My score 15/20. |

A beer festival was in progress when I called in. Seem to be making an effort with real ale. Good music selection for lovers of Rock and Metal music.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potbelly - Old Barsteward | 4.50 | | A fairly sweet and fruity copper coloured beer. The finish is more dry and bitter. My score 15/20. |
| Hexhamshire - Devil's Water | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Bath Ales - Barnstormer | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Exmoor - Beast | 6.60 | Not Tried |
