| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotleigh - Tawny | 3.80 | | Good well balanced traditional bitter, quite malty with some hoppiness in the finish. My score 15/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Dark Island | 4.60 | | I think this was fairly well down the cask as it had picked up a sort of underlying fruitcake taste, but still dominated by the rich roast maltiness characteristic of this beer. My score 16/20. |
11 Jul 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three Castles - Saxon Archer | 4.00 | | A bitter beer, mainly from malt with a dry, hoppy bitterness in the finish. My score 12/20 and B quality as it was slightly hazy. |
04 Jul 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonian - Nectar | 4.30 | | Slight hint of honey beneath general bitterness from both hop and malt. Dry, bitter finish. My score 14/20. |
| Weltons - Gazza | 4.70 | | Very bitter to the point of being phenolic. Little balance of flavours and a sharp bitter finish. My score 9/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - Special Bitter Ale "1965" | 5.00 | | Now shown at 4.8% on pumpclip. A fruity and full bodied premium bitter with good malt and hop balance. My score 15/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltons - Pele's Pint | 4.60 | | Pale wheat beer that is fairly cloudy. Quite hoppy with a slight wheaty sourness in the finish. My score 14/20. |

Very busy pre Saturday lunchtime with a queuing system to get to the bar!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooster's - Elmwood G.C.B. | 3.70 | | Very pale and refreshing citrussy beer. Good balance of citrus hop and sweetish malt. My score 15/20. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moorhouse's - Amber Rambler | 4.80 | | Traditional premium bitter with good balance of malt and hop. My score 15/20. |
| Shepherd Neame - Goose Island Honkers Ale | 4.20 | | Not overly impressed with this, amber in colour with a lot of bitterness, some from amber/crystal malt and a dryish, sharp finish. My score 13/20. |
11 Apr 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Trashy Blonde | 4.10 | | Citrus flavours of marmalade dominate with a full bodied and hoppy finish. My score 16/20. |
07 Apr 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hook Norton - Early Mist | 4.30 | | Served far too cold here, so much so that I thought the haze indicated a wheat beer until it warmed up and cleared. Otherwise an uninspiring pale brew with some hop bitterness. My score 14/20 (B quality). |
