Fairly quiet on a Wednesday afternoon, such that the landlord offered to bring a beer from the cellar for me to try.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Tryst - Dark Toffee Porter4.40ExcellentOne of those beers that absolutely lives up to its name. Dark brown with a slight burnt toffee flavour and some sweetness. A little hoppiness in the dryish finish. My score 16/20.
Big Lamp - Winter Pale4.50GoodPale golden with a good citrus hop bitterness balanced by some malt. Fairly dry, citrus finish. My score 15/20.
Gundog (re-named now see Acton Ales entry) - Golden Cocker4.10AcceptableGolden bitter with a very strong hop bitterness. A little maltiness and a dry, bitter finish. My score 14/20.
