Busy on a Thursday evening with a visit from the Mild drinkers club.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Mild | 3.20 | | Sweetish with good malty character, slight roastiness and a hint of chocolate. Smooth mouthfeel. My score 16/20. |
| Adnams - Old Ale | 4.10 | | This cask had been maturing in the cellar for several months. It had picked up a slight tart sourness, correct for the style, but I prefer the beer when a little younger. My score 15/20. |
