Grainstore - Ten Fifty (1050)5.00ExcellentWell up to the mark as usual golden colour smooth malt balanced nicely by the hops on the end
Wadworth - Farmers Glory4.70ExcellentWas a good beer but felt a little wrong with the sun shining a log fire and slice if fruit cake could have been perfect for this spicy ale
Shepherd Neame - Goose Island Honkers Ale4.20ExcellentLovely well balanced fruity bitter will hope to find in another pub over next two weeks
Milestone - Dark Knight4.40GoodHave my taste buds gone mad couldn't taste the raspberry that was in it before had i had a sweet pint tasted good so marked good
Batemans - Waynfleet Hedgerows3.70GoodSun was out the beer seemed to fit the weather be happy to sample again nice floral notes touch of sweet fruit nice.

Typical Wednesday afternoon talking about the festival beers was suprised to find they would only have 15 on over the course of it while I'm sure will have good local guest ales on isn't this a self fulfilling prophecy if people go other spoons to get the festival ales this won't do as well during the time.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Banks's - Maui Brewery Coconut Porter5.00ExcellentTook me a few minutes to get I have the feeling it needs to be warmer than the paler beers bit once it all came together was a really nice pint love the choc/coffee and the coconut looked at his food menu won't be visiting.
Thwaites - Summat Special4.00GoodSays it 4.3% in tasting notes had a couple as the coconut porter was due to replace it on gravity buy the porter was ready and Isobel served me direct from the cellar thanks. Anyway no hardship drinking this.
Summerskills - GuzzAle4.60Goodvery drinkable
Highgate - Davenport's Beer Hunter4.50GoodDecent gold bitter
Brentwood - Spooky Moon3.80AcceptableOkay brown bitter
