Early evening visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Experimental Vanilla Latte in the Morning | 5.60 | | In good condition but lacking a reasonable balance of coffee and vanilla with far too much of the latter. Sickly, I should have bought just a half |
| Tap East - IPA | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - No. 6 Blonde | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Manchester - Factory | 4.00 | Not Tried | Ran out |

| Wylam - Just About Midnight | 5.60 | Not Tried |

Brief early evening visit. Prices creeping up here from being reasonable, when it first opened, to being flashy shopping centre levels.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - Megs Bomb | 4.70 | | Excellent nick but at 5 sovs a pint! |
| Tap East - Coffee in the Morning (has been 5.7% too) | 5.60 | Not Tried | |

I can't help thinking that this pub needs some new furniture and a bit of a refresh.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

Evening visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Experimental Vanilla Latte in the Morning | 5.60 | | Smooth, slightly sweet. Vanilla wins out over coffee in the taste. |

The football in Dover didn't go well and my group decided to have post-match beers here rather than linger in Kent.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three Sods - Dark Magus | 4.70 | | A rather thin, spiced Stout. |
| Redemption - Urban Dusk | 4.60 | Not Tried | |

Two visits today, one mid afternoon whilst on my way to Leyton Orient and one on my return. The pub was much busier around 3:30 pm than it was in the evening. Thankfully I left just before 8.30pm and travelled just before the rail service came to a halt because of Ashford Signalling Centre being evacuated because of a fire.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption - Legacy Oak | 4.70 | | |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | | Creamy and caramel notes, sweeter than I remember it. |
| Redemption - Big Chief | 5.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Boleyn Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Smokestack Porter | 6.00 | Not Tried | |

Westfield is now in full-scale seasonal panic mode. Tap East is busy with people enjoying a drink before, during, after, or instead of their Christmas shopping. I’m mostly in the third category, with a bit of the fourth.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardywood Park - Gingerbread Stout | 9.20 | | From keg dispense. A wonderful, warming Stout with ginger and honey and vanilla. |
| Titanic - Plum Porter Grand Reserve | 6.50 | | This really is very good. Perhaps the only reason I haven’t given it five stars was because the next beer was even better. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Tonttu | 6.00 | | A very tasty, strong Red IPA, hopped with Enigma. |
| Northern Monkey Brew Co. - Noisy Neighbour | 5.00 | | - From a keg of some kind. A murky golden NEIPA. Soft and fruity. |
| Tap East - Smokestack Porter | 6.00 | | Currently advertised as 6.1%. It’s a bit flat today and does not shine. |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Three Sods - Session IPA | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Boleyn Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Mid-evening visit. Westfield does not yet have the air of panic that envelopes it as Christmas approaches.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tempest - Christmas Was Cancelled 1642-60 | 4.50 | | Very pale gold, crisp and hoppy. Not a hint of Christmas about it. |
| Cross Bay - Pie a Day | 4.50 | | A Brown Porter that tastes uncannily of mince pie. I’m not sure if this is a good thing. |
| Ilkley - Fireside Porter | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - East End Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - Smokestack Porter | 6.50 | Not Tried | |
| Tap East - No. 6 Blonde | 4.10 | Not Tried |
