Friendly, dark and loud. A metal music and real ale heaven. At some point they played some speed hillbilly music. I like the place.

Quiet in the early evening (quiet in terms of customers that is, not in volume of music). Relative calm in back bar. Specialises in dark beers. CAMRA discount claimed.

Full marks to this pub for carrying a mild in May, CAMRA discount too. Friendly welcome despite the rather forbearing loud metal music.

Ruby/brown with a bittersweet malty character. Some hop in the finish which is quite dry. My score 15/20.

A beer festival was in progress when I called in. Seem to be making an effort with real ale. Good music selection for lovers of Rock and Metal music.
