Quiet afternoon
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milestone - Dark Knight | 4.40 | | Knew nothing of this after it was poured could smell the raspberry and looked at pump badge saw was raspberry stout. Raspberry on front of tongue coffee malts and a bitter hop finish was Fine but not me. |

Virtually empty today but staff friendly even if it does look like a fish tank.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | | At £1.35 a bargain clear as bell bitter more hops than malt but nothing to complain about |
| Grainstore - BBB (Bunny Brown's Bitter) | 4.20 | | Just okay nothing special bit muddy feeling nothing special at all |
| Mordue - Five Bridge Bitter | 3.80 | | ok just not great maybe too long in the pipe manager pulled some off that tasted better |
| Cathedral - Magna Carta | 5.00 | | Again okay muddled little to hang your hat on |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

Early afternoon big place but looked quiet
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Velvet Curtain | 5.00 | | Really pleased to see this back lovely malts chocolate and vanilla wonderful stuff may move to Stoke |
| Marston's - Sinebrychoff Porter | 6.20 | | Good Day for porters it is a great idea to serve the 3 small glasses for the price of a pint this was a great find though shortlived I fear. Dark choccy expresso flavours you can almost chew followed by a great bitter kick at the finish |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Tiger Triple Gold | 5.00 | | nicely balanced strong bitter smooth morish beer |
