22:15 visit. Busy with half term students again. Only one new ale noted then another came on at 23:00.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Caledonian - Tree Brewing Thirsty Beaver5.00ExcellentA new ale, and very good too. Distinct, Cally dark ale taste. The second pint was even better.
Okell's - Steam Beer5.00ExcellentCame on and pulled through at 23:00. Fair but not convincing. The tasting notes "big upped" this ale. Maybe another sample further down the cask would be more interesting.

Maxim - Double Maxim4.70ExcellentAnother ressurected classic ale. Good nick.
Wadworth - Blunderbuss5.00ExcellentTop class. A lot going on in this new ale.
Titanic - Golden Porter4.70ExcellentAnother new ale. This oddity being a light coloured Porter. Good taste.
