22 May 2011 (Bear & Ragged Staff)
Exceedingly busy Sunday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Golden Age | 4.60 | | This ticked all the boxes for me. Well balanced and plenty of body. Good earthy tastes and ever so slightly malty. Wonderful. |
| Titanic - Shugborough Mi Lady's Fancy | 4.60 | | OK but too similar and not as good as other Titanic ales. Nicely hopped and slightly malty, reasonable body and quite smooth. |

Very quiet Tuesday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Back - Old Master | 4.30 | | A lovely dark mild. Nuts and chocolate in good balance. Slightly thin on the body. Pleasant drink. |
15 May 2011 (Bear & Ragged Staff)
Great Sunday evening session.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Plum Porter | 4.90 | | It does exactly what it says on the pump clip. It's a porter style ale with a plummy aroma and a plummy taste. Very plummy. I wouldn't want more than a couple of pints. |
08 May 2011 (Bear & Ragged Staff)
Miserable rainy weather outside but good company and conversation inside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Another disappointment, slightly biscuity and slightly bitter but not much else. Lack of balance and poor body. |
| Castle Rock - Harvest Pale | 3.80 | | Very disappointed. Looked forward to my first taste of this beer but it was weak in colour, weak in body and weak in taste (slightly bitter). Am I expecting too much for £2.40 a pint? |

Sunday dinner time and only half a dozen people in the pub, presumably everybody is away for the bank holiday? Nevertheless, good beer to be had.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springhead - Black Tom | 3.80 | | Black, nutty, chacolate and not heavy. A really pleasant drink. |
| WharfeBank - Slingers Gold | 3.90 | | Middle of the road ale, not too malty, not too sweet or bitter. Not too bad. |
| Springhead - Charlie's Angel | 4.50 | | A bit too sweet for me and there didn't seem to be much else coming through. Disappointing. |
29 Apr 2011 (Bear & Ragged Staff)
Whilst a wedding party occupied the function room (coincidental so I am told), and the beer garden was busy, the bar / lounge remained quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Royal Wedding Ale | 4.60 | | This is remarkably similar to another Titanic Ale (can't quite put my finger which one). A little malt, not bitter and not sweet with a fairly dry finish. Could describe a whole host of ales but an O.K. pint. |
27 Apr 2011 (Bear & Ragged Staff)
No Bishop's Farewell, outrage! Thank goodness for JHB and Liverpool Organic. Damn, thats just gone!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| White Horse - Wayland Smithy | 4.40 | | A nice combination of earthy flavours, some malt, some fruit and some hops - all well balanced and in proportion. |
| Burton Bridge - Night Of The Garter | 4.50 | | A one off brew to celebrate some wedding or another? Thin, malty and sweet. Not a pleasant experience. I do hope this was a one off. |
24 Apr 2011 (Bear & Ragged Staff)
A quiet Easter Sunday, everybody must be on holiday. A few games of pool and some good beer. Very enjoyable.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool Organic - Liverpool Pale Ale | 4.00 | | A superb bitter, pale ale without being overpowering. Light in colour and of medium body. A premium ale. |
16 Apr 2011 (Bear & Ragged Staff)
Incredibly quiet Saturday evening, nice day for the beer garden.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - English Glory | 4.50 | | An archetypal modern English ale, difficult to pin down other than to say "a jolly decent pint". |
| Wye Valley - Butty Bach | 4.50 | | Not the best from the Wye Valley Brewery, too sweet in the finish for me. Disappointing given other peoples recommendations. |
10 Apr 2011 (Bear & Ragged Staff)
Very bust Sunday afternoon, function room, restaurant and bar in full swing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stonehouse - Station Bitter | 3.90 | | One of the best session beers around. Exceptional at best, very good at worst. Amber colour with plenty of malt, fruity flavours and good body. Not quite a full bitter. |
| Titanic - Iceberg | 4.10 | | Not on top form today. I know Iceberg to be an exceptional premium ale with a crisp, citrussy bitterness - this was a little bit out of sorts - but good. |
| Titanic - Anchor | 4.10 | | In comparison to other Titanic brews, this was not amongst the best. It was spoilt by a slight acidity which overpowered other tastes. Nevertheless I will try again. |
