A short visit before my bus home saw it busy on a Friday evening, but fortunately no bouncers on the door.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - God's Wallop | 4.00 | | Annual outing for this Christmas beer, amber coloured with a good balance of malt and hop. My score 15/20. |
26 Dec 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Boxing Day pre lunch visit found a couple of interesting beers on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Plum Porter | 4.90 | | Full bodied dark brown porter with good malt character and a pleasant fruity tartness form the plums. My score 16/20. |
| Surrey Hills - Albury Ruby | 4.60 | | Dark ruby ale with a lot more hop bitterness than it used to have. Not as malty either, with a dry, hoppy finish. My score 14/20. |

Just before midnight. Was hoping for something strong, dark and warming to help me face the walk home.

| Adnams - Gunhill | 4.00 | | The darkest beer on offer, but didn't really provide what I was looking for so swiftly downed it and disappeared into the cold outdoors. |
