2215 and hot foot from work. Surprised at the range here tonite and the condition too. Very good.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Box Steam - Christmas Box Blonde | 5.00 | | This fourth new Xmas ale tonite stood out. The temperature and condition of all 4 ales were spot on, but this one hit the spot. A must try? |
| Wood's - Santa's tAle | 4.00 | | Good temperature but not a lot going on. |
| Robinsons - Mr Scrooge Humbug Bitter | 4.40 | | Ok but not one of Robbie's best efforts! |
| Otter - Otter Claus | 5.00 | | Again, ok, but nothing to really talk about. |
| Titanic - Eight Bells | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Palm - Biere De Noel | 5.00 | Not Tried |

1830 visit and some good ales on today.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Eight Bells | 4.50 | | A Xmas seasonal ale and not bad. |
| Palm - Biere De Noel | 5.00 | | Not sure which UK brewer put this in cask for JD's as it's usually tanked over and casked somewhere here. Not a patch on a true Belgian beer. Condition is just too "British"? |
| Exmoor (now brewed by Hogs Back) - Gold | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Skinner's (now brewed by Goodh) - Betty Stogs Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | "Coming soon" |
| Holden's - Golden Glow | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Bombardier (was Bombardier Glorious English) (use Eagle entry now please) | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Rooster's - Cheers | 4.70 | Not Tried | Would have been a new one for me, alas, "coming soon"... |

| Wadworth - Stone Brewing San Diego Session IPA | 4.50 | | One I missed recently. Here tonite, it was superb. Proper hoppy! |

1730 and first visit this week. Some interesting festival ales on too. 1/3rds are good news?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotleigh - Commando Hoofing IPA | 4.20 | | Very, very good this new one. |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Wells Naked Gold | 4.10 | | New. And pretty good. |
| Butcombe - Adam Henson's Rare Breed (superseded by 3.8% version - see separate entry) | 4.20 | | Another new ale, and quite good. |
| Belhaven - St. Andrews Amber Ale | 4.90 | | Not good at all. Asked for a second sample and hardly better. |
| Beartown (latterly part of Manning Brewers) - Wojtek (superseded by 5.5% version) | 5.80 | Not Tried | Alas, went before my eyes... |

A first visit here since the current festival kicked off. 3 ales (thirds) sampled for £2.45. In fair condition too.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonian - Cossack Imperial Russian Stout | 6.00 | | Excellent. |
| Thwaites - Daniel's Hammer | 5.00 | | An old ale but very pleasant. |
| Wadworth - Octoberzest | 4.00 | | A half decent fruity, citrus type. |

Afternoon, but were asked to move from our table at 6pm to clear the floor for the dance area?! Beers were served too cold for my liking.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thwaites - Daniel's Hammer | 5.00 | | Best of a fairly sorry bunch of beers, what is it with serving ales at lager-type temperatures? |
| Caledonian - Cossack Imperial Russian Stout | 6.00 | | |
| Wadworth - Octoberzest | 4.00 | | Nothing special, the festival program made it sound better than it was. |
| Woodforde's - Kett's Rebellion | 4.30 | | Might have been good but far too cold to tell. |
| Wychwood (now brewed at Marston's and Banks's before that) - Ginger Beard | 4.50 |  | A little bit of ginger, might have been better if it had been served warmer. |
| Vale - Long Dark Nights | 4.30 | | Didn't like this, glad I only ordered a half. |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Whakatu | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Moorhouse's - Pendle Porter | 5.00 | Not Tried |
