Quiet but a knowledgable barman, friendly locals + great beer made my first trip here memorable. Also had a fantastic plum porter but cant remember the brewer sadly (wasnt titanics version).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption - Urban Dusk | 4.60 | | A bitter/porter mix. Dark beer with smoky nose + coffee notes. Malty + flavoursome with an off colour lasting head. Very tasty. |

|---|---|---|---|
| Copthorne - Damson Porter | 4.50 | | Dark brown porter with malt flavours tempered by the tart fruitiness of damsons. The finish is fruity and dry. My score 15/20. |

Hard to believe you're in a large industrial estate whilst sat in their tranquil little beer garden. Another awesome pub in this fantastic little area.

Still busy late on a Saturday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thwaites - Nutty All Black | 3.30 | | Special Rugby World Cup version of the mild with New Zealand hops. These impart a much more fruity flavour to the beer with some citrus notes but still the smooth malty flvaour underneath. My score 15/20. |
| North Yorkshire - Archbishop Lee's Ruby Ale | 4.00 | | More amber than ruby these days, mild tasting with little hop or malt character to speak of. My score 14/20. |

| Mallinsons - Hubble (Space #8) | 3.70 | | Pale, hoppy and bitter blonde beer with some citrus tartness to the flavour. The finish id quite dry and hoppy. My score 15/20. |

Busy on Good Friday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acorn - Darkness | 4.20 | | Strong dark brown mild with a well rounded sweet and malty character. A little hoppiness to temper the sweetness in the finish. My score 16/20. |
| Toad - Malted in Black | 4.20 | | One of those beers that could be a mild or stout.Lots of chocolate malt in this, with some dark roast coffee notes. Some hoppiness in the finish, so just falls in the stout category. My score 16/20. |
