Got here at 5 to 12 and they'd already let people in. Had a chat with Blair behind the bar and with ChrisE. Sat by the stage at the rear with Martin and had a chat with Grahaeme who runs the show.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springhead - The Leveller | 4.80 | | Had it in bottle form and it was very good. Chocolate porter from what I could work out |
| Yeovil - Stout Hearted | 4.30 | | Smoky bacon and creamy with a mild hoppy finish that's quite tangy |
| JW Lees (see also Lees) - Drayman's Promise | 4.10 | | Spicy and rich brown bitter |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Spring Top | 4.00 | | Toasted sugar. Tangy |
| Castle Rock - Snowhite | 4.20 | | Not had this since Cam brought a pin to Lyme regis 10 years ago. Light turkish delight with a leafy bitter finish. Needed a little mellowing out. |
