Popped in for a quick one on the walk through to Broadstairs.

Highgate - Beezone3.80GoodNot usually a fan of honey beers, but this was one of the better ones. Sweet without being too cloying.

Came in for a quick couple just before closing. Quiet, but then where isn't on a monday night?
BeerABVScoreNotes
Potbelly - Redwing4.80GoodReddy brown with a thick white head. Looks a bit better than it tastes, was by no means bad but compared to other Potbelly beers it was a bit poor.

Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 73.80GoodLight, hoppy and refreshing.
Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin)4.50AcceptableThis is the "new improved" version. Ruby ale instead of dark and now only 4.5%. This is pretty pants really.

Busy with the ladies darts team all playing tonight. I'd quite happily be here every night if I had the money.
BeerABVScoreNotes

Quiet, only 3 or 4 people in tonight. Sat and had a chat with Andy the landlord.
BeerABVScoreNotes

Lunchtime session on the sunday, always a great atmosphere. Spent far too much money on raffle tickets, didn't win a thing, oh well.

Came in at around 8, good atmosphere as per usual. Wanted to stay all night but have a long day ahead tomorrow.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Dark Star - Six Hop6.50ExcellentSlightly hazy amber coloured with a frothy, off-white head. Big aroma of grassy, spicy hops. Sweet caramel balancing mouth puckering hops and a warming alcohol finish. Extremely good.
Batemans - Hooker4.50GoodOrangey golden. Some fresh tobacco in the nose. Caramel toffee, slight sweetness. Nothing special, but nice enough.
