Jack William		16 Feb 2025	My faith in Kent is restored. I’m getting liquorice, coal tar and a lingering bitterness to suck your cheeks in. Enough body to dress it up in a uniform and send it out to issue parking tickets.

Philip Pirrip		21 Jan 2025	Slight loss of condition since Sunday
Hogan Sampling		21 Jan 2025	Good head and lacing and holding some 30 minutes after being served on this American porter from Birling in Kent. A pleasantly malty mouthfeel, a persistent bitterness and a dryness lingering.
Philip Pirrip		19 Jan 2025	A heavy porter. Lacing held throughout
Hogan Sampling		19 Jan 2025	Good head and lacing on this American porter from Birling in Kent. It had the consistency of a soup and was malty to the extreme for my taste buds. Slightly fruity also in the aftertaste.

Philip Pirrip		29 Nov 2024	I had forgotten how strong this was. Near end of cask but still spot on

Dosser		19 Nov 2024	This stout was superb. Pity magnus could only have a half. I'm on my second pint.
Magnus Greel		18 Nov 2024	Just a tentative half of this rich complex spicy porter with an instantly recognisable pump clip depicting the Tech Noir nightclub logo featured in the original Terminator movie.
