Mid-afternoon visit and there are only a handful of customers in. Good range of mostly local brews – the two I selected were perhaps not the best.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Medieval - Chivalry3.80AcceptableA golden-coloured beer. Thinnish, sweet malt taste. Served very cold.
Medieval - Knight Hood4.20AcceptableKnight Hood appears on the pump-clip as two words. Amber-coloured. Sweetish, caramel, bit of hop. Served very cold.

First beer festival to be held here and a virtually full house on a Friday evening.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Liverpool Organic - Higsons Stout4.30ExceptionalExcellent stout with strong roast malt flavour perfectly balanced by a little fruity hop. Full bodied for its strength with a good malty finish. My score 18/20.
Blue Bee - 5 O'Choc Shadow5.00ExcellentChocolate stout with a bittersweet malty character and some hop in the finish. My score 16/20.
Full Mash - Witches Kiss4.10GoodWell balanced amber brew with a dryish finish. My score 15/20.
Leatherbritches - Spiced Berry4.40GoodNew strength and minus the mild moniker but still is. Red coloured and with a predominately fruity character with low hoppiness and a hint of spiciness. My score 15/20.
