This huge pub was crowded at 5pm. Mostly office parties - Christmas seems to have come very early in Bristol this year.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Chemistry - Becoming North | 6.00 | | A smooth, chocolatey Porter. Seemed a bit thin for its strength. |
| New Bristol - French Toast | 4.40 | | An unusual, slightly soured Brown Ale. |
| Arbor Ales - Mosaic | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Wiper and True - Blackberry Porter | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

| Kettlesmith - Skyline | 5.60 | | Clear gold. An over-warm, orangey Saison |
