Early evening and very busy. A large proportion of the current beer festival list beers were available by gravity or through the pumps.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Hop County | 4.80 | | Served by gravity and as flat as a tattie scone. Some hop and caramel character coming through. |
| Elgood's - Hen in Black | 4.50 | | A thin and bitter Porter. An unpleasant sour edge. |

The last pub on the Ratebeer Edinburgh crawl. Most of the people I was with didn't like this pub much, but I thought it was ok, better than the average Spoons.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strathaven - Old Mortality | 4.20 | | Ruby, lasting beige head. Good deep malts, soft, drinkable. Decent malt toffee, coffee, milk choc, nice hop on end. Drinkable. |
| Sulwath - Knockendoch | 5.00 | | Chestnut, lasting beige head. Some choc/coffee. Some rubber. Not a very good finish, but decent toffee. |
| Strathaven - Standing Order | 5.00 | | Brewed especially for the pub. Gold, lasting cream head. Attractive premium bitter, soft due to the sparkler, but decent hop/malt balance, hop is quite tasty and this went down easily enough |
