Evening latish but still thriving. For some inexplicable reason it had blaring music which was making all conversations difficult.

Busy with swift turnover of clientele.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Thwaites - Nutty Black3.30GoodCask ran out after my glass was poured but was still in good condition and tasted as I would expect this beer i.e sweet and unhopped with a malty finish. My score 15/20.
