Saved from an early night by the current Maidstone & Mid Kent pub of the year, and with another excellant ale from Dark Star just coming on as I walked through the door!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Sussex Extra Stout | 4.50 | | A top class ale and in top condition. |
| Naylor's - Pinnacle Bitter | 3.90 | | Fresh on tonite, and not seen this ale before. Very nice. |
| Oakleaf (now see Fallen Acorn entries) - Bitter | 3.80 | | Good to see an old beer on. Good condition as well. |
| Black Wolf (formerly Traditional Scottish Ales (TSA)) - Stirling Bitter | 3.70 |  | No slant on landlord Dave, an ale I've not seen before, tasted a small sample, but this ale was not good at all. |
