Busyish late evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny Rebel - Stay Puft | 5.20 | | Slightly cloying stout. Better without the marshmallow gimmick me thinks. |

Prices are becoming silly in this all keg outlet so choose with care.

| Stigbergets - First Stout on The Moon | 7.00 | | I enjoyed this but thought it drank more like a porter - too restrained for a stout. £5.35 a half. |

Busy, late evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes (a.k.a. Brasserie BFM) - Abbaye de Saint Bon Chien | 11.00 | | Not too impressed. Bit vinegary, bit intense. Well judged? I think not but maybe that's me. |

Again too few staff.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cromarty - Happy Chappy | 4.10 | | |
| Northern Monk - Bombay Dazzler | 4.80 | | Described as an Indian Witbier with(undetectable) hints of ginger, cardamom and coriander this was a strange one. Pleasant enough but the main flavour would best be described as either cherry cola or sasparilla. |

Busy. Great beer list.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Southville Hop | 6.50 | | This has stood the test of time so well. Fruity, hoppy and well balanced. The yardstick for judging all beers tried tonight. |
| Burning Sky - Imperial Stout | 8.50 | | Not big enough or bold enough. Disappointed. Maybe should have tried the Alpha State DIPA instead. |

Friendly and informed.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudwater - DIPA V2 | 9.00 | Not Tried | After Lamb Karahi it would be unfair to rate this but the impressions were entirely favourable (keg). |

Busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cromarty - Happy Chappy | 4.10 | | Hoppy, clean, refreshing and none the worse a cool keg serve. |

Busy. Lots of Havana users 'enjoying' the beer garden
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AleSmith - X | 5.20 | | I like AleSmith beers. Their IPA is an old favourite but this was, indeed pale, but, at £18 a bottle, lacking in both depth and flavour. |
28 May 2015 (McGargle)
Usual excellent beer choice. 24 taps.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudwater - Citrus Gose | 5.50 | Not Tried | After a South Indian thali it would be unfair to rate this but impressions were of a rather thin, flavour lacking beer. |
19 Mar 2015 (McGargle)
Pleased to see it very busy late evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weird Beard - Something Something Dark Side | 9.00 | | Stout? Black IPA? Doesn't matter; smooth and tasyy from thee reliable Weirdys. |
