Hogan Sampling		09 Jan 2025	The first of this evening's offerings tried and a session bitter from Tunbridge Wells. Given I am not an overall fan of Pig and Porter, I sought a sample as I really thought I should ought to do this as the best way to proceed! One pint then sufficed. Some temporary head and lacing. A very sweet first hit from some fruitiness it contained. A lacklustre finish and did not note from the tasting notes, the hints of Christmas cake, currants, prunes and dates, but certainly a touch of sugar to help the medicine go down.

Hogan Sampling		27 Dec 2024	Good head and lacing on this session bitter from Tunbridge Wells as fresh on. A very sweet first hit but then followed by a bitter and moreish mouthfeel which made it very palatable. It sailed off with sweet notes into the sunset. The tasting notes tell you muscovado sugar with an aroma of Christmas cake, prunes, currants and dates were all to blame. Glad some Christmas ales with their excess sweetness are especially not with us the rest of the year!
