Busy. Quick service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

Busy with post Boro match drinkers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Ward's Best Bitter | 4.00 | | After a bit of research this is now brewed by Robinsons. Golden brown. Ripe fruits run through this beer. Sweet smooth malt. Nice but syrupy, possibly a touch sickly as a session beer. |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Harviestoun - Schiehallion | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

Busy. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acorn - Challenger | 5.00 | | Golden ale. Some fruity aromas followed through to hoppy bitter taste balanced by some biscuit and caramel mats. Dry almost astringent finish. |
| Maxim - Double Maxim | 4.70 | Not Tried | Came on as were leaving. |

Steady business and quick service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Wadworth - Pixley Black | 6.00 | Not Tried | |

Surprisingly quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| RCH - Old Slug Porter | 4.50 | | Gone is the lactic taste replaced by rich roasted grain. Jet black in the glass with long lasting dark beige head. Long dry finish. A superb reminder of what Guinness could be. |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | | Disappointing. On this form another dull brown beer. Little body/flavour - maybe tired. |
07 May 2010 (McGargle)
Surprisingly quiet for a Friday night but quick, pleasant service. Yard of Ale mini-beer festival was just winding down.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yard of Ale - Black as Owt | 4.20 | | A deep ruby red easy drinking stout with long lasting beige head. Hints of chocolate and roast grain but only hints. Too thin to be stout. |
| Yard of Ale - Spring Triple Tipple | 4.20 | | Light straw coloured and served in good condition. Described as 'massively hopped' this example tasted thin and bland with only hints of hops and light malt. |
| Butcombe - Blonde | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
