Ian		08 Oct 2010	Good dark roasted toasted malts, good condition and my favourite of the Wantsum beers I've had.
Andrew		08 Oct 2010	Good condition. My comments on this beer say, "Toasted roasted pig beer". Not sure what that means but I know I really liked the beer.

Ian		20 Mar 2010	Brown with thin off white head. OK bitter, some yeast and odd lemon on aroma. Fine, ok earthy bitter. Could do with some more hop on the end. Finish is really quite malty.

The Parrot (Young's), Canterbury, Kent

Who	Score	When	Notes
ChrisE		03 Feb 2010
Brian		29 Jan 2010	The Parrot seems to be supplying Wantsum ales pretty regularly amd I've been impressed with what I've tried. This was, however, a bit one dimensional. It's mid brown, with a bubbly, soap-sud head. Big sherbert hit of hops in the mouth, quite sour and nettley. Not much depth, no real balance. Not bad though, not as good as the Black Pig from a few weeks ago.
