Popped in for a quick one.

Had vowed never to return but it was a friends leaving do so made an appearance. Actually enjoyed it this time and it seemed much more like it was 2-3 years ago. Perhaps I'll give it another try next time I'm over.

Barman was a bit of a grump. Not sure this pub is worth the walk from the town centre anymore.

Beer festival in progress but didn't seem any different from the usual range.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elgood's - Whippet Ale | 5.00 | | Sweetish and quite malty strong amber bitter with little hoppiness and a fruity finish. My score 15/20. |
| Cottage - TR6 | 4.60 | | Malty premium amber bitter that was nearing the end of the barrel. My score 13/20. |

About 9:30pm and it was fairly quiet. Spent 40 mins trying to work out which bits of the pub had changed since Keith's day.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abigale - Nailbourne | 4.50 | | Bit cloudy but tasted perfectly fine. Toasted earthy flavours with a hint of Smirnoff Red and a hint of astringency. A nice session bitter. |
