| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Disappointing lack of body |
| Nelson - Pursers Pussy Porter | 4.80 | | New cask on, first pint out. Sharp tart taste and some haze. No more a porter taste than I am. Slooshes of lemonade asked for an made it downable just |

23 Aug 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit. Had some quite variable ales here of late, is 10 on at all times too many to ensure fast enough sales of each cask?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signal - Absolutely Fuggled | 4.00 | | One dimensional with little condition, making it a slow chore to finish |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Last out of cask, foolishly I chose to accept it |
| Redemption - Big Chief | 5.50 | | Grossly sour, slooshes of lemonade made a half of it tolerable |

| Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Nelson - Trafalgar Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried | Ran out |
