15 Apr 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three B's - Oatmeal Stout | 3.80 | | Good roasty, oaty malt taste, rather thin mouthfeel, could do with a bit more ABV to give a fuller body. My score 16/20. |

30 Mar 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hilden - Gael Rua | 4.30 | | Interesting amber coloured beer with a smokey aroma and initial smoked malt burst of flavour. After this the beer falls apart with peaty dryness and cloying smokiness clashing for dominance. My score 12/20. |

The pub is found in City, Central London, EC3V 0DR.
Big and busy JDW pub in the heart of the City in Gracechurch Street. Huge sports screen on one wall. Wonderful building with lots of high ceilings and marble. The lights in particular are worth noting. Oval bar towards the rear serves numerous handpumps (I saw 18) including guest beers not on the JDW usual guest list. This is definitely worth going to if you are in the City during the week.
We have visited this pub 89 times, seen 401 different beers and tried 181 of them.
