22 Dec 2012 (Stephen Harris)
An early departure from London by car saw us ensconced in here at 10:30am for a full breakfast and a couple of beers brewed just down the road at this pub’s sister pub, the Trent Navigation. Good to meet up here with Tony, Alison, Sarah and Bernie – Nottingham friends of very long standing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Navigation - Pale Ale | 3.90 | | A golden, balanced pint; fruity and hoppy. |
| Navigation - Pints of Peace | 4.80 | | A deep red coloured Porter. Fruity, with a hint of sourness. |
| Derby - Business as Usual | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Bank Top - Blonde | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Navigation - Traditional | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Navigation - Stout | 4.40 | Not Tried | |

28 Apr 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
No mild on here, but an interesting substitute. Pub was very busy on a Saturday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rat - Red Rat | 4.30 | | Ruby in colour but the style is American, hoppy and dry hopped with Simcoe. My score 15/20. |
02 May 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
A new addition to the Nottingham Mild trail for 2011.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flipside - Dark Denomination | 4.00 | | Red/brown beer that is just about classable as a mild. Some biscuity maltiness and low hoppiness leading to a dryish and fairly bitter finish. My score 15/20. |
