I took the challenge Had a Pint Doom Bar or should that be glum bar in the Wetherspoons The Admiral Byng it was not inspiring at all very weak and bland tasting not a patch on years ago. Same as London Pride it just not the same now.

Don't You just hate Pubs that say
( We don't stock any Real Ales as theres Just no call for it.)
Dark Star Darkness 3.5% at Kelham Island Tavern, Wharfedale Black 3.7% at The Fat Cat and Little Ale Cart Annesley Runner Stout 5.2% at The Wellington. Yummy!
Come On You Hatters!
I saw Doombar in a pub at lunchtime Friday but avoided it as it would have been the first one pulled that day. . Although in a good beer pub that should not be a problem. I would not worry about secondary fermentation as Sharps have said before 80 percent of their beer goes out bright and needs little or no settling.Something the bigger brewers are doing to quicken turnover.
I managed a couple of halves in different pubs last night, unedited notes straight off my phone;
Pub #1
Sampled as fourth beer of a slow evenings drinking and proceeded by a selection of other mainly bland session beers: Bland with a slightly fruity taste, thin body, not much aroma, the half I sampled was in excellent condition with just the right amount of natural carbonation. Not on the "avoid like the plague " list but just a third rate beer.
Pub #2
This time a thickish malty syrup with faint fruitiness still bland and less appealing than the previous pub but to be fair I had been warned this was and I quote "a shithole".
