18:30 Busy round the bar with vertical drinkers. Every table had a reserved sign on it but we were able to sit in the snug as it was free until 19:30.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| York (now brewed by and at Black Sheep) - Guzzler | 3.60 | | Far lighter in colour than the previous pint in the Six Bells. Reasonable condition but spoilt by a soapy aftertaste. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Brains - The Rev James Original | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - XX Dark Mild | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Goddards - Scrumdiggity | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Batemans - Colonel's Whiskers | 4.30 | Not Tried |

25 May 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - XX Dark Mild | 3.00 | | Dark red/brown in colour. Low hoppiness and a sweetish caramelly malt flavour with a hint of sherbet and a fruity finish. My score 16/20. |
