| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burnt Mill - IPA | 4.30 | | We could argue about whether this was an IPA or not but it was everything that Russian Doll wasn't. Fresh, crisp with a carefully built flavour profile. Maybe BrewDog should buy the brewery and move the staff to senior positions in Ellon. |

No cask Punk again.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Russian Doll | 4.00 | | On cask but murky and poorly defined. Unpleasant, astringent finish. |

Packed.

Busy as usual. Friendly, enthusiastic staff.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Hazy Jane | 7.20 | | Bordering on 5* this NEIPA was juicy and sweet with soft mouthfeel and limited bitterness. |
| BrewDog - Cloudwater collab NEIPA V2 | 8.50 | | Complete contrast to Hazy Jane, this beer bordered on the elegant/austere. Much more focussed it seemed closer to a DIPA but very enjoyable. 660ml bottle. |

Brim measure glasses regularly served with 2cm head.

| Buxton - SPA | 4.10 | | Less body than the bottled version. Disappointed. |

Busyish early evening. Good to see some staff from Gallowgate working there.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beavertown - Gamma Ray (keg) | 5.40 | | |
| BrewDog - Jet Black Heart | 4.70 | | They've changed the dispense and now use a CO2/N2 mix. What a difference! Body and flavour in abundance. Wonder how they'd work that trick with cask? |
| Fourpure - Hoptart | 3.70 | | Liked this but wouldn't have recogised it as Berliner Weisse. More of a very pale ale with dominant lemon flavours. Eyewateringly priced. |

I like lined glasses but not when given short measure and told 'It will settle'. It would but not by that amount.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Jet Black Heart | 4.70 | | New beer to me but barstaff said it was a black IPA. Surprised then to see BrewDog describe it as milk stout. It was neither; lacked body and any discernible flavour profile. |

Opening night and the place was heaving. Staff having fun except those in the kitchen who were trying to keep a grip. Sound first impression but needs settling time.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beavertown - Gamma Ray (keg) | 5.40 | | Initially served Punk in error but quickly changed. Solid, hop forward pale ale. |

The pub is found in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB11 5BU.
BrewDog's second Aberdeen bar. This one is much larger with a club downstairs - UnderDog, of course. More food on offer and a bottle shop which, to start with at least, offers excellent value.
We have visited this pub 8 times, seen 9 different beers and tried them all.
