Steady session but, very slow service made worse by a barmen struggling to make a latte coffee! Have these customers not heard of coffee shops? If pubs do coffee why not stick to a good old kettle?

Bit more bar like than many of the other pubs Tony and I visited. We sat at the bar and tried to make coherent sentences. Tony spotted some notable rum so we had that too.

Bath Ales - SPA3.70ExcellentWhat an excellent beer this is and probably my favourite of their range. Smelt of the tar you get in the stem of a smokers pipe. Tasted of dried grass and oats with a sweet earthy hop finish

Bath Ales - SPA3.70ExcellentTo be honest, a little too drunk by this time of the evening (7 pints in) to describe. It was deifnitely a corker.
