No cask options. But the misses was well catered for with 16 real ciders.

Quiet in here in the afternoon. Halloween decorations were going up. I neglected to scribble down a beer list.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amundsen Bryggeri - Ink & Dagger | 6.50 | | From keg. An over-fizzed IPA. |

Mid-afternoon. Several people have moved on here when the Spa Valley Railway Beer Festival started to dry up.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staggeringly Good - Thai-Ranno Citrus IPA | 4.00 | | Golden and hazy. Dry. A great, lingering citrus flavour from the use of Kaffir Limes in the brew. But a bit fizzy from a key-keg. Three days later and I’ve just got the dinosaur joke in the beer’s name. |
| Heavy Industry - Freak Chick | 4.60 | | A murky brown beer. Didn’t seem quite right. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Rother Valley - Hoppers Ale | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Wild Beer Co. - Bibble | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Nice pub. A light late-afternoon custom.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fallen - Beeline | 6.50 | | Key-keg. A fab, cloudy, amber-coloured Saison, with honey, pear and guava. |
| Pig & Porter - Lost Colony | 4.80 | | A golden, fruity beer in the APA style, spoiled by very flat condition. |
| Summer Wine (SWB) - Teleporter | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Gun - Red Ale | 4.40 | Not Tried |

Mid afternoon. The beers are all served from taps on the wall behind the bar. It was not easy to see what beers were available without peering and trying to read the pump clips behind the taps. For this reason I am only able to record the one beer I had.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stewart - Belgique Gold | 4.80 | | Not sure whether it was the Belgian sour taste or it was past its best but it was just drinkable. |
