2230 and only one new festival ale on tonite.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Lion Stout | 5.00 | | Not too bad. Would have given it a 5* rating if it was stronger and more roasted. The same beer that I've had in Europe, is far better than this version. I'm not impressed with some of these "guest" brewers using UK breweries to replicate there beers. |
| Butcombe - Bitter (or Original Beer) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Springhead - Liberty | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Woodforde's - Once Bittern | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

2230 and on top form in here tonite.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wadworth - Pixley Black | 6.00 | | An excellant, rich, dark stout with added, pure blackcurrant juice of the Pixley Black variety. Lots going on. |
| Wychwood (now brewed at Marston's and Banks's before that) - King Goblin (superseded by 6.6% version) | 6.00 | | Very warming. Good head and some deep notes here. |
| Woodforde's - Once Bittern | 4.10 | | Not bad at all. |
| Butcombe - Bitter (or Original Beer) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Westerham - Black Eagle Special Pale Ale "SPA" | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Westerham - Finchcocks Original | 3.50 | Not Tried | |

We came in here because it is adjacent to the bus stops, and we had half an hour to wait. I was pleasantly surprised to see a good range of beers on offer, unfortunately I did not note them down.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | A little too cold for my liking, but still good Jaipur. |
