How can Weatherspooms employ so many people who do so little? Early Friday evening and it took ages to get served - by someone who couldn't give a s**t. Decor is very tired and not very welcoming. And why do they put pump clips on with "coming soon"? Today it was Titanic Stout and Weltons Cocky.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hogs Back - HOP | 4.60 | | Another golden beer that actually tasted of hops after a disappointing Westerham SPA but still nothing to write home about. |
| Westerham - Black Eagle Special Pale Ale "SPA" | 3.80 | | A very bland golden ale that didn't really taste of anything. Most unlike a Westerham beer. |

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. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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. |
