Practically empty in here tonight. Had a chat with Gray the Dray for a while then finished my pint and cycled home.

I was off to Eindhoven in the early hours so had a few pints to help me get an early night. Got here at around 6 and it was already fairly busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | I definitely preferred this beer last year, however, it is still top notch. Rich, dark and fruity. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - 80/- | 4.60 | | I'm a big fan of this beer. Sweet and malty with plenty of caramel. The beer version of a dessert almost, very good. |
| Dark Star - Hophead Amarillo | 3.80 | | Unsurprisingly this was fairly similar to normal hophead. Light and hoppy although a slight chemical aftertaste let it down slightly for me. Still a good beer. |

Met my dad here for a quick afternoon pint. Pretty busy with a family friendly vibe to the place. I got some roast potatoes so I was happy.

A friend's birthday and he doesn't really like this pub so we slyly came here for a quick one first. Quite busy with everyone just starting to get into festive spirit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elgood's - Snickalmas | 5.00 | | I really liked this, which I did not expect. Sweet and very fruity with rich dark malts. |

Pretty quiet, maybe due to the rather uninspired line-up. Still, friendly woman behind the bar, she's fit in perfectly.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triple fff - Comfortably Numb (spent a while at 5.4%) | 5.00 | | I really liked this, very fruity with loads of toffee malt. A really tasty beer. |

We were all a little tipsy when we got here, there was a big group of us so we occupied the flight seats downstairs. New barman, really friendly guy who randomly decided to play us some guitar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | Thick dark and delicious. |
| Hidden - Pint | 3.80 | | Fairly hoppy and malty, pretty standard but enjoyable bitter. |

I can't seem to get here anough lately, superb pub. The new lady behind the bar is doing a great job as well.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | Very hoppy light ale. Even a stubborn lager drinker said he'd drink this if it was a couple of degrees colder. Great beer. |
| Dark Star - Festival | 5.00 | | Rich almost treacly ale with loads of sugary fruit and toffee. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Still the best pub in the area in my humble opinion. Handful of people in tonight, Alistair was behind the bar helping pull through a beer. Chatted to him about his railway adventure to 'Brizzle' this coming weekend. Sat in the flight deck and sank a couple.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| White Dog - Boot Hill | 5.80 | | Aggressively hoppy, sweet and a little fruity. Reminded me a little of dark Star's Six Hop. Very, very good. |
| Mauldons - Suffolk Pride (aka Suffolk Punch) | 4.80 | | Not that impressed with this, fruity with a little malt. But a strange flavour that I found off-putting. |

I actually only have a vague recollection of being here, but I have been assured that we were here for at least a couple of pints. I remember being disappointed that they've got rid of their bin full of hats!

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | Rich and complex porter. Really is delicious. |

Got here at around half 10 after going to a family do in Minster. Packed house tonight with a loud, hectic atmosphere. Still nice to see this place thriving, but the line-up was a little weak so left after the one.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loddon - Ferryman's Gold | 4.40 | | Golden ale with loads of fruit and toffee with a hint of malt. A little sweet for me today, but there's no denying it's a good beer. |
