|---|---|---|---|
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Birra del Borgo Castagnale | 4.40 | | Red/brown malty ale with good toffee and caramel notes. Smooth and full bodied mouthfeel. Fairly low bitterness allowing a sweetish and malty finish to linger. My score 16/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| RCH - Strawberry Line | 5.00 | | Surprisingly good strong golden ale. The strawberry flavour is fairly restrained and in the background allowing the solid mix of malt and hop in the base beer to come through. Excellent mouthfeel. My score 16/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Lion Stout | 5.00 | | Fairly malty and sweetish stout but something wasn't quite there that I couldn't put my finger on. My score 15/20 - needs a retaste. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Hepworth - Harvest Ale | 4.50 | | A hoppy golden ale, brewed with fresh green hops to give a strong, leafy hoppy flavour. Dryish, hoppy finish. My score 15/20. |
| Tetley - The Headless Huntsman | 4.20 | | Dark amber with faint toffee and caramel flavours but no hoppiness to speak of. Fairly sweet and cloying with a dry finish. My score 13/20. |
