Beer list was so 'impressive' that my ale drinking friend chose Tennents!
BeerABVScoreNotes
Stewart - 80/-4.40AcceptableGood example of the the style. Deep red, limited hopping but full of fruit. Spoiled by poor carbonation.
Greene King - Double Hop Monster IPA7.20PoorSearing alcohol, some graininess and limited musty hops. Work still needed I think.

The pub is found in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB10 1HF.

An Aberdeen real ale institution in St Nicholas Lane, it offers a much less adventurous selection of ales since the GK take-over. But still a must visit for its fine, long bar and friendly welcome. Basic pub grub served at lunchtimes.

We have visited this pub 19 times, seen 67 different beers and tried 15 of them.
