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.
