Early Monday evening. I chose this as a couple of more promising pubs in Dorchester are closed on a Tuesday. Thought I was the only one in the pub and then found the large garden. Then I knew I was the only one in.
Very tired looking garden. Rather a depressing visit.

I met up with Jane and Isabel who had just been to the nearby Teddy Bear museum. They needed a drink and this place looked civilised. It was. We were the only people in. There were two ciders on too.

Late-afternoon visit, the last time I was here it was the Goldfinch Brewery tap.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dorset Brewing Company - Tom Brown's Bitter | 4.00 | | One of the old Goldfinch brands taken over by DBC. Deep amber in colour. A bitter that is fruity but also dry. |
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

| Dorset Brewing Company - Flashmans Clout | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Fairly quiet with a few drinkers around the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dorset Brewing Company - Tom Brown's Bitter | 4.00 | | |
| Dorset Brewing Company - Portland Porter | 4.70 | | The pump clip said vanilla and boubon but I didn't get any of these flavours coming through. Dark in colour and very flavoursome. Best beer of the day. |
| Dorset Brewing Company - Durdle Door | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Dorset Brewing Company - Yachtsman | 4.70 | Not Tried |
