Mid evening fairly quiet in this back street micropub, just a group of three and a couple off to a wedding do. Friendly welcome from the knowledgeable barman who was happy to provide tasters of the 5 cask beers on offer, I've not listed the 6 keg choices also available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cwrw Iâl - Kia Kaha! | 4.30 | | Spicy aroma belied its peaty hoppy bitterness and kiwi fruit hints |
| Dovecote - Dove Down Under | 4.80 | | Complex floral hoppy unfined broth |
| Dovecote - Colomen Bach | 3.70 | | Rather biscuity sweet and malty for my palate |
| Cwrw Iâl - Pocket Rocket | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Dovecote - Dove Dark | 3.60 | Not Tried |
