Alenomore		03 Apr 2010	Still in top condition here. Complete contrast to Folkestone sample tasted earlier in the day. So good it all sold out this evening?
Alenomore		02 Apr 2010	Exceptional and stunningly good premium mild ale. Sampled four pints of this. The "key" with both the Maidstone JD's is to catch the ales when they've just been put on, as all three ales tonite were new and all were served in tip top codition. Roll on the festival!

Alenomore		03 Apr 2010	Having sampled four pints of this stunningly good mild in Maidstone the night before this visit, I was disappointed at the bland condition of this ale here. Had a word with one of the staff, but he thought it was ok!

Ian		03 Jun 2010	I only got this because a friend in Scotland says how good it is. Diacetyl bomb. Hated it. Which is a shame as I like Leeds as a beer drinking city.

Ray		21 May 2010	Marginally better than the Ale Mary which I thought I was drinking at first. Less chocolate, more body but not a lot else.
