26 Dec 2008 (Dubbel)
Fairly quiet early evening on Boxing Day and surly service. Unusually, the food was substandard too so the chef must have been on Christmas leave. 3 ales available plus Aspells mulled cider (yuck). Once again the Leicestershire sparkler infestation was in evidence. I asked the barmaid to remove it but she just looked at me vacantly. Never mind.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batemans - XXXB (now superseded by 4.8% version) | 4.50 | | An East Midlands stalwart. Dark with ruby hues, Batemans big malt and a hint of caramel in there. |
| Batemans - Santa's Tipple | 4.00 | | I'd had my fill of Christmas specials by this point. This one didn't stand out. Typically malt-laden and dark brown. |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Tiger | 4.20 | Not Tried | House regular. |
