| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Smoke - Dark Wave Porter | 5.00 | | Tasty, rich, chocolaty Porter. |

I was back in here tonight on the way home from work in the hope that a particular Thornbridge beer had come on – it had.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Ruin | 5.00 | | I had been looking forward to sampling this ‘Botanical Beer’ and was not disappointed. All the flavours of ‘Mother’s Ruin’ in a pale gold-coloured beer. I love this sort of thing and had several glasses just to make sure. |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | | A delicious beer to start with, to sharpen my palate. |
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Oakham - Inferno | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried |

Mid-evening session. Quite busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | | Loveable beer. |
| Beavertown - Bloody 'ell | 7.20 | | On key keg dispense. Perhaps not so fresh, as quite a lot of natural carbonation had built up. Crazily expense. Lovely though. |
| Oakham - The Racketeer | 5.00 | | Good, full-bodied Pale Ale. |
| Oakham - Black Hole Porter | 5.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried |

A rather quiet session in here, following some shopping and a pizza upstairs. Just time for one quick one.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mad Hatter - Penny Lane Pale | 3.80 | | Amber-coloured and slightly hazy. Full-bodied, fruity, US-style Pale Ale. |
| Williams Brothers - Seven Giraffes | 5.10 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried | |

Sunday evening visit and the pub is very quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Nova | 3.80 | | Very nice. |
| Shiny - Abyss | 4.70 | | A very nice, strong, black Mild. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - JWB (Jim Wilson Bitter) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried | |

Mid to late-evening visit. Plenty of the usual Thursday crowd here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Made North | 3.80 | | Dry, golden bitter in the Manchester style. Well-crafted and well-balanced, as you would expect from Thornbridge. |
| Tap East - JPB (Jonny Park Bitter) | 4.00 | | New Session Bitter, named after the current brewer, which I expect will replace JWB, which is named after a former brewer (Jim Wilson – now of Peoples Park Tavern). |
| Dark Star - Espresso Stout | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Oakham - Scarlet Macaw | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - JWB (Jim Wilson Bitter) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

As of today I am £8 a month richer, having re-negotiated my telephone contract. I thought I would spend February’s £8 in here (and some more).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool Craft - Love Lane Pale | 4.50 | | Pale gold in colour, with fruity hops and a bitter finish. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Cocoa Wonderland | 6.80 | | A strong, dark red/brown porter with a massive chocolate hit. |
| Liverpool Craft - American Red Ale | 5.00 | | This didn’t really work for me. Seemed to lack both hops and body. |
| Tap East - JWB (Jim Wilson Bitter) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | Not Tried |
