Great pub this. Busy, friendly, helpful staff, atmospheric.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Kent - Pale | 4.00 | | |
| Dark Star - Revelation | 5.70 | | Good condition but too hoppy for me. |
| Dent - Aviator | 4.00 |  | Brian's review of this from 2006 had always stuck in my mind so I was pleased to actually find it. Unfortunately, it had no condition and, as a result, tasted of malty hoppy water. |

Daves down from 30 beers in the cellar to 12 according to his list. We have been drinking too much. Time for another pallet of Thornbridge, I think.
