First stop of the evening at around 7pm. Pub was fairly busy and everyone was in a jovial mood.

Couple of afternoon drinks, only a few others in but the atmosphere was friendly and jovial.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | Not the best hophead I've tasted, a little bit flat and not as hoppy as usual. |

Only a smattering of people in, some enjoying the chicken padina on offer for Wednesday's curry night. Only stopped for one as I fancied something stoutish.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vale - Artful Bodger | 4.10 | | Dark, full-bodied bitter with a tasty chocolate malty flavour. Very quaffable but couldn't help thinking a little more oomph to it would make it a special beer. |

| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Glorious day outside so dropped in to hide from the sun. Quite busy for half one in the afternoon. Whiled away a few hours listening to Soundgarden and Black Sabbath on the jukebox, perfect.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Oatmeal Stout | 4.60 | | Beautiful, rich and oaty stout. |
| Dark Star - Rye & Juniper | 5.20 | | Very bitter and pretty refreshing, really good beer. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - 80/- | 4.60 | | Really good if a tad sweet for me. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried |

The afternoon drinking session seems to have become a weekly thing now. Only two other hardened drinkers in at 2pm. Shame as it was a cracking line-up.

|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Oatmeal Stout | 4.60 | | I love this stout. |
| Kelham Island (probably brewed by Thornbridge now) - Big Black Blue Sound | 5.30 | | Kelham's take on a black IPA. Quite tasty, lacked a little condition but the taste was really good. |

Had a car crash into the front of it last week leaving a fair bit of dame. Pub was still open as usual with the same faces inside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Yellow Tail | 4.50 | | Very light, hoppy and refreshing. May be my favourite wantsum beer so far. |

Thursdays are like my Fridays these days and I decided to celebrate it here. Really quiet with only 3 or 4 people in which was strange.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Oatmeal Stout | 4.60 | | Gorgeous, perfect condition. |
| Hopdaemon - Skrimshander IPA | 4.50 |  | This wasn't good. Condition was fine but it was overpoweringly sweet, neither me or my mate could finish our pints. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Seasider | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

Had tried the Rose of England but apparently it's closed on Sundays, so dropped in here instead. Around 9pm when we got here and there was a good number of people in.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Monster (Georges) - Rochford Banshee | 4.40 | | Very sweet, but once I got over that it was actually a really nice beer. Black in colour with a smoky/fruity flavour. Good stuff, just wish they'd tone down the sugar. |
