Hogan Sampling		21 Dec 2024	I had it the week before in the Jolly Drayman and enjoyed so decided to relive that pleasurable tasting experience. Good head and lacing and so not disappointed with its good carbonation and a spicy first hit from this Birling-based winter ale. It was a spice bonanza for me! A pleasant dryness lingered.

Hogan Sampling		14 Dec 2024	Very good head and lacing on this Christmas beer from the Birling-based brewery near West Malling in Kent. The first hit was of a sweetish bitterness. There was a pleasantly fruity mouthfeel lingering of cinnamon from this seasonal light brown bitter.
