Early evening. My Cape Canaveral into Sussex tonight. Madagascar chocolate ruled OK here tonight with a Tap East brew collaboration takeover and samples of the chocolate to chew on too.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Madécasse Chocolate Porter Toasted Coconut | 5.00 | | My choice of the 3, excellent burnt malt taste but not a detectable sign of coconut |

I caught the second half of the Lithuania v England match on TV here on the way home from work. Pub quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | | Superb. |
| Tapstone - Sea Monster | 4.20 | | Lemony-citrus, hoppy golden beer. I don’t know if it is meant to be like this, but my pint was also very salty. Almost like a Gose. Tasty and refreshing. |
| Oakham - Bishops Farewell | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried | |

Nice to relax in here on the way home from an excellent day out in Suffolk.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 |  | On fantastic form. |
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | Impossible not to enjoy this one. |

Early to mid-evening on a Saturday and I’m sat outside with the smokers. The survivors of this-morning’s pub crawl are here, with one or two additional friends as well.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Bad Co. Madeira Aged Bourbon Brown | 7.40 | | Lovely; but just a half today. Got to leave some for others to try. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | Not on best form – a little green I think. I still found room to drink several. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | Not Tried | They seem to be having trouble shifting this at £5:60 a pint. |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried | |
| Alechemy - 10 Storey Malt Bomb | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Saaz Saison | 4.50 | Not Tried | Quickly ran out and not replaced whilst I was here. |

Mid-evening visit, pausing on the way home. There seems to have been a sharp price rise for stronger beers, although regular strength cask beers remain £3:30 for home-brew, £3:60 for guests.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Bad Co. Madeira Aged Bourbon Brown | 7.40 | | Fabulous beer. This second cask seemingly even better than the first. |
| Tap East - Saaz Saison | 4.50 | | Unusually straightforward at a time of exotic saison flavourings. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Original | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried |

Not for the first time in here I reflect on the irony that I can see a so-called ‘International’ railway station outside the window, but that it has taken me nearly an hour to get here since I whizzed past on a Eurostar bound for St Pancras. Very quiet tonight at around 10pm.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | I think it would be possible to survive on this beer alone. |
| Great Heck - Black Jesus | 6.50 | | A superb, heavenly, strong, chewy, Black IPA. |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Smokestack Porter | 6.50 | Not Tried | |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Nova | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Mid to late-evening at the end of the weekend. Some chap was enthusing about the micro-pubs he had discovered during a day out in Kent – ‘I could do that’, seemed to be the message.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | | Good enough to have a couple. |
| Bad Co. - Lime Pale Ale | 4.40 | | Oh yes. Very nice indeed. Description as in the beer’s name. Not one for the ‘citrus-haters’ amongst us. |
| Dark Star - Original | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

Late-ish drink after a long catch-up day at work.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Beer Factory - Bitter Kiwi | 5.00 | | Lovely. |
| Tap East - A.P.A. (American Pale Ale) | 4.30 | | A bit too hazy and not as flavoursome as usual. Coming near to the end of the barrel I suspect. |

I just popped in for a quick one as I was passing, but ran into Terry L and stayed considerably longer than planned.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burning Sky - Aurora | 5.60 | | Sharp, excellent, pale beer. |
| Mallinsons - Galaxy | 3.90 | | A golden beer, dry and bitter, with citrus and resinous hop flavours. |
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | | More mellow than usual and a little dulled. |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Florence - Titfer (branded as A Head In A Hat Brewing) | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Tonic Ale | 3.00 | Not Tried |
