Hogan Sampling		06 Feb 2025	Some head and lacing on this stout from Hardley, south of Southampton. A chocolatey first hit. A pleasantly dry mouthfeel and lingering but ever so marginally medicinal in the aftertaste.
Hogan Sampling		04 Feb 2025	At least not medicinal and minus the kick I had just had from the Canterbury IPA. This stout, called Kick-Start and from the New Forest, began with some head and lacing but not for long. A very dryish first hit with a hint of expresso. A slightly sweet mouthfeel with a touch of roasted chocolate lingering. The most acceptable out of the trio on this visit and I would not readily do any of them again! £4.80 with CAMRA discount for this 5.7%.
