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 - Gold | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Skinner's - 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"... |

|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

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 Banks's) - 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. |
