Early Thursday evening, I had not been here before and decided to have a look inside. This place was well worth a visit.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Brass Monkey - Tamarin Mild3.60AcceptableA copper coloured beer, and I thought that this was a bit twangy, but it was a new beer to me so I had no idea what it was supposed to taste like.

Busy mid/late afternoon on a Saturday.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Wall's - Rudolph's Revenge4.40ExcellentA dark brown/ruby old style mild, a proper Christmas beer with no horrible spices to detract from the flavour of the beer. Smooth, sweet maltiness with hints of chocolate and toffee, full bodied flavour and a little fruity hoppiness in the finish. My score 17/20.
