| Shepherd Neame - Double Stout (superseded by 4% version) | 4.30 |  | Surprised this seasonal was still on, and still in excellant condition. Seemed to taste even better than last weeks sample, no doubt due to the good cellarman here! |

| Shepherd Neame - Double Stout (superseded by 4% version) | 4.30 | | On for my late evening visit, found Sheps' seasonal, usually around for Paddys week, but nothing special, very thin compared, and not much going on compared to other stouts I've sampled. |

A late evening visit to catch the end of the St Patrick's celebrations here. A fair crowd and the Guinness was flowing! Also sampled the Shep's Double Stout 4.5%, fairly thin though.

Saturday lunchtime, only two beers on, and the barman seemed surprised that he managed to get a pint out of the Early Bird pump. All the other pumps had their clips turned round.
