| Dosser |  | 17 Sep 2025 | Lost its head and lacing quickly though quite flavoursome. Bit watery for a stout. |
| Dosser | | 19 Feb 2025 | Nice stoutish beer. £3.80 so almost a £ less than the Monty. |
| Dosser | | 27 Feb 2024 | New stout for paddy's day. Not bad. |

| Hogan Sampling | | 02 Aug 2025 | Good creamy head and lacing and lasting on this local Ramsgate black stout. A spice-infused malty first bite. A dry moreish bitterness rising among the odd fruity note bobbing up and down from its blackberry flavourings on my taste buds. A good fruity and biscuity-infused maltiness sailing off ably assisted by its three dark malts. |

| Hogan Sampling |  | 26 Jan 2025 | At last a good Gadds' after all! Very good head and lacing on this Ramsgate stout with lots of cream on its top. A very dry first hit. A malty mouthfeel and a dryness lingering. Very moreish and so packed two in. |
| Philip Pirrip | | 07 Apr 2024 | First time I have had this - good malt blend in excellent condition |
