It's Thursday evening and this is the City of London. Almost by definition the pub is rammed. Hard to get through the door and hard to approach the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cropton (see also Great Yorkshire) - Darkangel | 5.00 | | A very deep brown coloured, cherry porter. The overwhelming flavour is smooth chocolate. There are no burnt or toasty flavours that I can detect. A slight fizz on the tongue, and the cherry taste comes through towards the end but is not sweet. My assumption is that this US beer is brewed at Cropton. |
| Peerless - Triple Blond | 4.20 | | A pale beer which looks to be in good condition. But the taste is cardboardy, stale and musty. It's not meant to be like that is it? |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| White Horse - Brewery Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Green Jack - Excelsior | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Fairly busy with passing trade from the nearby Liverpool Street railway terminus. Beer quality was above average here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cropton (see also Great Yorkshire) - Ryedale Winter's T'Ale | 4.20 | | Dark ruby winter type beer with medium hop bitterness, good malt character and berry fruit flavours. My score 16/20. |
| Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Azzaparrot | 4.20 | | Dark amber in colour with a good balance of hop and malt. Becomes drier and more spicy towards the finish. My score 15/20. |
