Sunday lunchtime and increasingly busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - Finchcocks Original | 3.50 | | Pleasant easy drinking session beer. Plenty of bicsuity malt and soft hoppiness giving a light mild like character. My score 15/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltons - Broadwood Wassail | 6.00 | | Supposedly a stout but found it rather thin tasting and sharp. Not much roast malt flavour. My score 14/20. |
22 Dec 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltons - Black Turkey | 5.20 | | Smoked Porter with a good German style smoked malt flavour in a hoppy and full bodied beer. My score 16/20. |
| Marston's - Christmas Pudding Spiced Ale | 3.90 | | Rather uninspiring with just the flavour of spices in a rather bland base beer. My score 13/20. |
19 Dec 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thwaites - Santa's Sack | 4.20 | | Ruby coloured bitter with a fruity and malty flavour. My score 15/20. |
27 Nov 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltons - St Nicklaus | 6.10 | | Hoppy and spicy strong amber beer that is not really to my taste. My score 12/20. |
14 Nov 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jersey (now called Liberation) - Liberation Ale | 4.00 | | Lots of biscuity and grainy malt in this but also some hop bitterness in the finish. My score 15/20. |
10 Nov 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coach House - Regency Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Unexciting bitter with some sweetness and a slightly hoppy, dry finish. My score 14/20. |
07 Nov 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mordue - Coriander 1879 | 4.90 | | A well balanced strong bitter with good malt and hop flavours. Coriander flavour is barely noticeable. My score 15/20. |
| Caledonian - Heineken Flying Dutchman Junibier | 4.30 | | Amber bitter with not much flavour to speak of, a hint of sweet caramel maltiness but little hop character and a dryish finish. Rather disappointing. My score 13/20. |
01 Nov 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batemans - Wheat Dreams | 4.60 | | Malty amber brew with little to give it away as a wheat beer. Usual trademark Batemans peppery/cardboard malt taste. My score 14/20. |
27 Oct 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
The Wetherspoon festival officially started this evening, so kick off with 3 thirds.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lincolnshire Craft (formerly Tom Wood's) - Tom Woods Vanilla Orchid | 4.80 | | Strong vanilla aroma, a little more restrained in the taste. Good full bodied flavour with a pleasant vanilla finish. OK if you like vanilla, which I do. My score 16/20. |
| Shepherd Neame - Sam Adams Blonde Ambition (superseded by 4.5% version) | 5.50 | | Pale with crisp, sharp citrus hop flavours. Little in the way of malt balance. My score 15/20. |
| Hook Norton - Easy Weasel Ale | 4.50 | | Unremarkable best bitter with hop bitterness but not much else. My score 14/20. |

The pub is found in Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1AP.
Located in the High Street this vast barn-like Wetherspoon pub was a post office for most of the 20th century. Before 1908, the 'We Three Loggerheads' pub stood on this site, with Humphrey Bean as its landlord. Banks of 6 handpumps adorn either end of the long bar counter to dispense the real ales here.
We have visited this pub 153 times, seen 357 different beers and tried 211 of them.
