Mid to late evening visit and more relaxed than I have ever encountered this pub before. I’m afraid I might have subjected the assembled clientele to some of my juke box choices. An eclectic mix of The Specials, Bob Marley and Rod Stewart I fear.
Arbor Ales - Triple Hop Series #5 | 4.50 | | Golden and slightly hazy. Bursting with exotic hop flavours from Eldorado, Pacific Jade and Summit. Fabulous, hophead paradise. And in perfect condition too, so I’ll be scoring a 5 on the CAMRA NBSS website as well. |
Brampton - Winter Bock Barley Wine | 6.00 | | I don’t see Brampton beers very often. This was a really smooth and slippery, dark-amber beer. |
Blackjack - Black Jack Stout | 5.00 | | Smooth, dry, black stout at the roasted barley/coffee end of the stout spectrum. |
Blue Bee - Nectar Pale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
Blue Bee - Bees Knees Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
Welbeck Abbey - Red Feather | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
