19:15 visit. Cap to be removed at all times, bag searched. Very efficient doormen here! Met the chaps upstairs and we stayed until 22:00, by then, it was very busy, very pretty and very noisy...

Busy downstairs, quiet upstairs.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Joseph Holt (see also Holt's) - Humdinger3.50PoorVery sweet and cloying, to the point of excess diacetyl flavour. Not sure if it was the beer itself or cellaring that was the problem. My score 12/20.
