07 Mar 2013 (Stephen Harris)
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.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medieval - Chivalry | 3.80 | | A golden-coloured beer. Thinnish, sweet malt taste. Served very cold. |
| Medieval - Knight Hood | 4.20 | | Knight Hood appears on the pump-clip as two words. Amber-coloured. Sweetish, caramel, bit of hop. Served very cold. |

16 Nov 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
First beer festival to be held here and a virtually full house on a Friday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool Organic - Higsons Stout | 4.30 | | Excellent 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 Shadow | 5.00 | | Chocolate stout with a bittersweet malty character and some hop in the finish. My score 16/20. |
| Full Mash - Witches Kiss | 4.10 | | Well balanced amber brew with a dryish finish. My score 15/20. |
| Leatherbritches - Spiced Berry | 4.40 | | New 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. |
