Kent: my first pub visit since Christmas Eve, due to a stonking lurgy and machinery problems.

Three Acre-Christmas Old Ale 5.6%abv.Mysterious dark'un.Initially sweet,but a long,dry arboreaal finish. I've seen it described as a Stock Ale.I wonder...My BOTW.

Late entry in a quiet week: Heineken Murphy’s Irish Stout (keg). Not had it for a while and I enjoyed it more than the alternatives.
