| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Suffolk Springer | 5.50 | | Isobel got the 2nd cask in good Burton ale she raved about it but its really spot on barley sugar. treacle toffee, fruit cake, see what else I get later. |
| Herold - Black Chalice | 4.80 | | different but seriously good less coffee but chocolate dark fruit raisin or prune. |
| Milestone - Black Pearl | 4.30 | | An Irish stout way better than the market leader malts go to far on the toasting but there again the other stuff is worse |

relaxed and friendly
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grainstore - Ten Fifty (1050) | 5.00 | | Well up to the mark as usual golden colour smooth malt balanced nicely by the hops on the end |
| Wadworth - Farmers Glory | 4.70 | | Was 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 Ale | 4.20 | | Lovely well balanced fruity bitter will hope to find in another pub over next two weeks |
| Milestone - Dark Knight | 4.40 | | Have 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 Hedgerows | 3.70 | | Sun was out the beer seemed to fit the weather be happy to sample again nice floral notes touch of sweet fruit nice. |
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Stickle Pike | 3.80 | | Fine but nothing special |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Val-Dieu Abbaye Blonde | 5.50 | | not me for sure faintly medicinal nothing to make me want another. |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

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.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Maui Brewery Coconut Porter | 5.00 | | Took 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 Special | 4.00 | | Says 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 - GuzzAle | 4.60 | | very drinkable |
| Highgate - Davenport's Beer Hunter | 4.50 | | Decent gold bitter |
| Brentwood - Spooky Moon | 3.80 | | Okay brown bitter |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

| Milestone - All Rye Paddy | 4.80 | | Very pleasing to find this red brown colour tasted great fruity with no real hint of the alcohol content short lived head some lace on the side of glass well worth a try at spoons prices. |
