The Black Sheep was on yesterday and appeared to be reasonably well-kept. I had a couple of pints, just to check, and had no complaints, unlike the Guinness I had there a couple of weeks ago which was like the Devil's dishwater (and it's quite hard to get Guinness wrong...)

Main problem actually appears to be that most of the bar staff don't know what a decent pint (or gin & tonic) ought to look like, or taste like. So, it's often one step forward, and one step back - going you take your chances and can wind up with flat lager, watery Guinness, cloudy bitter, or a little tumbler with gin, tonic and no ice or lime.
