It is funny this used to be my favourite pub in Maidstone but since Greene King took over I am slightly embarrassed about going in. Anyway there were plenty of people enjoying themselves at the end of a Saturday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Gangly Ghoul | 4.20 |  | If I did not know better I would say the malt here was unattenuated i.e. not fully brewed out. But surely GK would not do that? Pretty dull and left bad taste in my mouth. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | On some kind of new fancy font |

2300 visit and all is quiet.

| Greene King - Gangly Ghoul | 4.20 | | This was actually very good. Dark, rich and spicy. Cant remember what this was like last week, as I've not sample this ale before then. Or was this the XXXB I wonder? |

In Earl Street, entering through the front door there is a room at the front with the bar to the right serving 6 handpumps then a couple of rooms off to the left and at the back.
