17:50 Fairly quiet. Bit of a barn without lots of people. After we were served a chap ordered a pint of Trawlerboys but the barmaid struggled to pull one and turned the clip round. Before we left the clip was back facing front. I asked her why and she said that there had been a problem with the beer fobbing. Problem with the gas I asked. Yes came the reply. Not a problem I usually associate with cask beer.

13:10 Third port of call. Very quiet. Asked the barman to compliment the Redwall brewery on producing a cask beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redwell - Indian Pale Ale | 6.50 | | This brewery normally only does fizz beer. I wish they would do more cask based on this example. |

| Elgood's - Black Dog Mild | 3.60 | | Quite toasty, roasty, bit like burnt toast, roasty finish. Bit doughy/bready on aroma. Good mild. |

Virtually empty when we got in with only 1 other person. Big place though so with no one in it felt a bit odd.

|---|---|---|---|
| Elgood's - Black Dog Mild | 3.60 | | Some roasted notes, hint of cream. Short lived bitter finish |
| Elgood's - GSB (Greyhound Strong Bitter) | 5.20 | Not Tried | |
