Final pub for today with its convenient rear exit short cut back to the Hbf just a 10 minute walk away. Calm relaxed comfortable and enjoyable, a pub one could spend hours in without even realising!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Nick Of Time | 3.90 | | Malty body and mouthfeel all being faithful to the style of a British Classic, but the new world hops used lift it to a new peak. |

Late afternoon to early evening in this friendly and welcoming cosy back street busy local, by far my favourite so far here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Country - BFG | 4.20 | | A straw coloured quaffing beer, with an impressive bold citrus hop aroma, fruity balanced sweetness and a lingering refreshing aftertaste. |

Having completed my lunchtime chores nearby and not wishing to embark on a pub crawl I decided to pop in here and spent a couple of hours enjoying some very good beer. An excellent selection of bar snacks were available including rolls, pies, pasties and samosas. I had to eat a couple of the latter for quality control purposes.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4T's - Chocolate & Fudge | 5.00 | | Exactly as described on the clip with a milky creaminess that brought smile after smile to my face, a joy to drink and regretting not having another before departing.. |
| Salopian - Flags Over Idaho | 4.40 | | Dry bitterness hoppy and tropical nectar with an emphasis on mango but not overbearingly so for this complex ale. |
| Black Country - BFG Bradley's Finest Golden | 4.20 | | Slightly sweet for this hoppy smooth full bodied flavoursome treat for the tastebuds after the Razzmatazz! |
| Bosun's - Razamataz Raspberry Flavour | 3.70 | | Just a hint of the claimed raspberry to detract from this bland watery ale. NB the correct spelling is Razzmatazz |
