Post-shopping visit and rather quiet in here tonight. I seem to have failed to write up a couple of recent visits.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Monk - Faith | 5.10 | | I thought this was really good and stuck with it. A golden beer, probably in the style of a US Pale Ale. Not sharp at all, but smooth and fruity with peach and apricot tastes. |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
| Vocation - Heart & Soul | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Tapstone - Sea Monster | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Early evening quick pint before launching off into Kent.

Mid-evening. Wednesday is LP night here and I’m just in time to listen to Wishbone Ash’s classic ‘Argus’ album.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | | Still a favourite of mine. |
| Vocation - Pride & Joy | 5.30 | | A ‘limited edition’ special version of this beer, single-hopped with Mozaic. Sharply-fruity hop tastes. No wonder there has been a shortage of Mozaic hops – they are all in here. |
| Oakham - Bird Brain | 4.10 | | Another deliciously pale and hoppy beer. |

Early to mid-evening and not too crowded.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | | A good refresher to start with. |
| Wild Beer Co. - Millionaire | 4.70 | | A serious beer to savour slowly. Salted caramel tastes. |

Just time for a pint before catching a train home, I chatted with a customer at the bar about the Conqueror at Ramsgate.

Early evening visit, the bar well-populated at this time.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Tri-State | 5.80 | | A generously-hopped red/brown beer. |
| Budvar - B: Dark Cherry | 4.50 | | On keg dispense. My last beer of the year and one I’d been eyeing up over several visits. Very dark brown with a reddish tinge. Very strongly cherry flavoured on a solid malt background. Morello-type cherries. Nice. |
| Ghost - Kylo | 4.40 | | An Earl Grey and vanilla flavoured Porter. Black, with a tan head. The expected tastes are there, but I found it dominated by a very bitter finish and a bit lacking in body. |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried | |

Late afternoon. There is a frantic frenzy of post-Christmas panic-shopping going on just inches away, but it is relative calm in here. Chance meeting with Dave from Peterborough who passes through briefly.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | Yummy, and rather more balanced that the Brodies Citra I drank yesterday. |
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | | I’m quite a fan of this beer. |
| Titanic - Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried | |

Busy Friday evening session.

|---|---|---|---|
| London Brewing Co. - Salmiaki Shotgun | 4.90 | | Just the sort of thing the craft beer movement is all about. An experimental collaboration beer with Mad Hatter Brewing. It is described as a Salted Liquorice Stout. Black and thick, salty, caramel-flavours, liquorice and roast barley. |
| Tap East - Cherry Porter | 6.00 | | |
| London Brewing Co. - Extra! Extra! | 4.10 | | Very pleasant, sharp and crisp Pale Ale. |

Mid-evening and quite busy for a Monday. Launch tonight of Tap East’s Christmas special beer, a Cherry Porter which can be purchased in a deal including a mince pie.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | | Lemony/citrus refresher. |
| Tap East - Cherry Porter | 6.00 | | Smooth, strong and near-black Porter, heavily flavoured with cherries. The cherry taste is neither overly-sweet, nor is it sour. |
