Early evening and fairly busy, darts on TV and a comfortable relaxed atmosphere with mostly younger folk. A previous check on Untapp'd revealed a fair choice of real ales on thus I was pleasantly surprised that was the case.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Porter5.40ExceptionalCreamy silky smooth smoky roasted coffee beans with subtle marmite slash bovril nectar. Delicious - a joy to drink and well deserved 5*
Theakston - Old Peculier5.60GoodCreamy with hints of charcoal liquorice and rye. I turmoiled with the combobulation between 3.5 and 4* for this.
Little Critters - Malty Python4.30GoodMalty as expected with a boiled sweet flavour. Different.
Greene King - Morland Old Speckled Hen4.50Not Tried

Early afternoon, I sat in the former Saloon Bar, only a handful of customers at this time of day.

First visit upon recent reopening, pleased to see the new owners have not spoilt the country pub atmosphere, just the fumes of fresh paint prevalent. Badly timed early evening call as the place was being used as a kindergarten which ruined the ambience.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale)4.20GoodIn fine form
Sharp's - Doom Bar4.00Not TriedVery badly timed as the barmaid saw my eyes light up on seeing this and promptly turned the clip round and stating 'sorry its off'.
