Hogan Sampling		25 Jan 2025	Good head and lacing on being presented with it and after a few decants later on, it was restored. Not overly sweet and not as good as on previous visit the evening before. The odd malty flavouring in it and a bitter finish on this Tottenham mild made with the help of The Kernel in Bermondsey.
Hogan Sampling		24 Jan 2025	I was warned off this on my previous visit by a fellow punter but had a taster out of curiosity then and did not dislike. This time around I was ready to try a half. This Tottenham mild was very potent at 6% and made jointly with Bermondsey-based The Kernel Brewery. The first hit was actually very dry and whereas I described it from my earlier visit as strange. Certainly lightly fruity and enjoyed the chocolate, coffee and sweet sherry flavours, as in the tasting notes, immensely. Could easily have done another half or more as very moreish but also full of Tonbridge's Old Chestnut.
Philip Pirrip		23 Jan 2025	Would have liked more natural carbonation to carry this off
Hogan Sampling		23 Jan 2025	Just went for a taster as was otherwise sticking to the bitter. Some head and lacing on this Tottenham-based mild made jointly with Bermondsey-based The Kernel Brewery. A strange first hit and not overly sweet despite chocolate, coffee and sweet sherry flavourings lingering.

Philip Pirrip		25 Sep 2018	4½* A superb combination of brewing and cellarmanship. BUT after half my pint the burnt malt flavours overpowered me
Philip Pirrip		25 May 2018	Full bodied, the Kernel contribution no doubt important

Stephen Harris		08 Feb 2018	Dark brown in colour. I don’t enjoy this as much as I was expecting – possibly because it comes immediately after a couple of very hoppy beers.
