Lovely evening so had to come out for a few. Quite busy with a great friendly atmosphere. This pub has really gone up in my books lately.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's)4.70GoodNot as good as it should be. Possibly a little line cleaner, but still a good pint.
Brains - Bitter3.70GoodGood bitter. Malty with a lot of flavour for it's strength.

Had some pretty awful customers in tonight but thankfully they left after a while. Other than that excellent as always.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Dark Star - Festival5.00ExcellentQuite thick and sticky, quite a rich nutty flavour. Really good.
Whitstable - Native Bitter3.70GoodNot normally a fan of this brewery, but this one was quite nice. Plenty of caramel in the aroma and flavour.
Dark Star - Old Ale (aka Old Chestnut)4.00GoodA little cold so the flavours weren't as pronounced as I'd like. Still a nice pint though.

Stop number 3, this place was fairly quiet. Deserves more customers although it is big so that could just make it feel quiet. Friendly staff though.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Hop Back - Odyssey4.00GoodGood, old fashioned best bitter. Nice oak and malt flavour.
Hopdaemon - Green Daemon5.00GoodVery light, bursting with fruit flavours. Not really my style of beer but it was still a really nice pint.
Dark Star - Old Ale (aka Old Chestnut)4.00GoodVery pleasant with s strong roasted malt flavour. Good stuff.

Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's)4.70ExcellentVery smooth and very hoppy. One of my favourite pale ales.

Very quiet, but I was with a large group so it didn't mater. Just good to be somewhere that wasn't showing the football.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Mild4.00GoodI love this mild, this wasn't as good as it was at the Monty but still a nice pint. Roasted malt with a little chocolate. Another seasonal I wish Eddie would promote to regular.
Elgood's - Double Swan4.50AcceptableLight fruity, hoppy golden ale, served very well. Just not that great a beer.

Pretty quiet, came with a big group of friends and I think we trebled the number of people in here. Still a good friendly atmosphere though.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Timothy Taylor - Landlord4.30ExcellentLovely pint of landlord. Sweet with a little caramel. Really enjoyed this one.
Rooster's - Wild Mule3.90GoodHazy, amber colour. Grassy/hoppy flavour with a hint of frutiness. Quite good.
Ringwood - Old Thumper (now superseded by 5.1% version - separate entry)5.60AcceptableNot a great pint of this, the Old Thumper normally tastes funny in here and I'm not sure why.

Absolutely dead, hugely disappointing considering it was St Georges Day.

Wadworth - St. George & the Dragon4.50PoorI don't know what possessed me to try this. Wasn't very nice, biscuity with a lot of bitterness. Meh.

Fairly busy, good vibrant atmosphere. This pub is really growing on me.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Dark Star - IPA6.20ExceptionalA stunning IPA. Fruity and hoppy, I'm not usually a fan of IPA's but if I find more like this I'll easily be converted.
Vale - Gravitas4.80ExcellentI was expecting a dark beer for some reason. However, this was a very pleasant, fruity golden ale. This one would go down really well on a summers day.
Hopdaemon - Cuckoo3.80GoodFor it's strength it manages to cram a lot of flavour in. Very malty, and pretty tasty too.
Ringwood - Old Thumper (now superseded by 5.1% version - separate entry)5.60Not Tried
Highgate - Fox's Nob4.40Not Tried

Absolutely packed in here, the counterfeit notes were playing. Really lively with a good crowd of people.
BeerABVScoreNotes
