Evening visit. Always a boring array of ales - the venue does not make imaginative use of the JDW quarterly guest list.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 |  | Served far too chilled. Only got any real taste when pint nearly over and after 20 minutes of defrosting |
