01 Nov 2012 (Alenomore)
22:15 visit. Busy with half term students again. Only one new ale noted then another came on at 23:00.
| Caledonian - Tree Brewing Thirsty Beaver | 5.00 |  | A new ale, and very good too. Distinct, Cally dark ale taste. The second pint was even better. |
| Okell's - Steam Beer | 5.00 |  | Came 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. |
