Grand opening with new owners, came along to see if real ale was on offer as this is now my nearest pub. Packed tonight, let's hope it continues to prosper.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | Very nice, typical Yorkshire bitter. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Reasonable pint but much to cold, lacking that distinctive Harveys edge |
| Badger (Hall & Woodhouse) - Flowers Original (subsequently contract brewed at Brains) | 4.40 | | Dark and malty, a nice pint. |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Wells Bombardier (now superseded by 4.1% version) | 4.30 | | Good pint of this rich malty beer. |

Called in for a couple of quiet Sunday night beers with a friend. The place was fairly quiet but had a good atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | This was probably the best pint of beer I’ve ever had in the Black Robin. Absolutely bursting with taste and extremely drinkable, as a result a couple of pints turned into several! |
