Early evening and busy with folk crowding the bar area, our group managed to find a free table at the rear of the cavernous right hand bar. Efficient bar staff coped well with proceedings.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Fruit Crumble | 4.00 | | Not the gloop I expected, instead easy drinking flavours of summer and forest fruits, vanilla custard plus some toffee and caramel notes – all on a complex biscuity malt background. |
| Dark Star - Hophead (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.80 | | Served far too cold.. |
| Wibblers - Dengie IPA | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Ramsbottom Craft (sometimes branded as Rammy Craft) - Bumble's Honey Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried |

|---|---|---|---|
| Bishop Nick - Heresy (was once 4.1%) | 4.00 | | Excellent condition but just a boring lemon juicer |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Oakham - Inferno | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Crouch Vale - Yakima Gold | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Wibblers - Dengie IPA | 3.60 | Not Tried |
