Briefly in the early evening for a couple of halves off the beer festival list.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Acorn - XV Oatmeal Stout4.80GoodA smooth and slightly sweet Oatmeal Stout. Roasted coffee and chocolate flavours and a bitter finish.
Green Jack - Mandarina Orange4.20AcceptableA disappointing, orange-flavoured wheat beer. May have been beyond its best condition.

Evening. Not a place to visit tonight with a queue waiting to enter and 2 bouncers seemingly restraining someone outside.

20:00 visit and a tad livelier this side of the High Street. Seasonal guests in full swing now.

21:00 and a few in. Two years since my last visit, and 'clocked', straight away by three, noisy, well tanked up old faces from the good (bad) ol' days....! This place is noticeably much brighter and smarter, since its refurbishment.

Temperance Union - Vfm Softy1.00ExcellentGood enough.
