13:00 A short walk across the road from the Lamb. Not as busy as I expected. The seven of us bagged, and all got in one of the two booths either side of the entrance. Given the size of us this was no mean feat. Sadly my Hop Circle app decided to fail and I missed out on the discount.

Filling up fast with diners on a Thursday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oxfordshire Ales - Meads Must | 4.70 | | Amber strong bitter with no dominant flavours, a dry maltiness with some hop bitterness present. Finish is dry. Served too cold therefore my score 14/20 with B for quality. |

I was the first punter in at 12.30 on New Year's Day in a very quiet "ghost town" Oxford. Must have been a long night of celebrations.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltaire - Triple Choc (was Triple Chocoholic) | 4.80 | | Not quite as chocolatey as previously, allowing the bitter roast malt flavours to come through more. Still an excellent chocolate stout but loses a point so this sample now 19/20. |

It was quite busy, so we ended standing up along the corridor linking the front and rear of the pub. Cosy if you could get a seat.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | Not at its best. |
