21 Dec 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit which because of a Charlton Athletic EFL cup match nearby, ending late due to penalties, was ended to midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron Pier - Wealdway IPA | 4.50 | | Good condition, but let's be frank it was just another intensely lemon juice job |
| East London (ELB) - Imperial Stout | 9.50 | | Only just tapped but we pressed to be served with some before going home. Will be better after a night's oxidation but was still good, and inevitably heady |
| Beerblefish - Pineapple Sour | 4.40 | | Sharpish taste, OK but needed more life |
| Kent - Yule Log | 4.50 | Not Tried | Ran out |
| Cellar Head - Resinate | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Verdant - Penpol | 3.80 | Not Tried |
