Late evening visit until last knockings.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Melba Peach IPA | 5.20 | | Sort of refreshing but only in a chilled wet liquid sort of way with little flavour. I was disappointed |

| Fyne - Jarl | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Anspach & Hobday - The Porter | 6.70 | Not Tried | |

Late evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Even More Jesus XII (collaboration with Evil Twin of NYC) | 12.00 | | Unchanged from yesterday - would be a wow of an ale if it had more natural carbonation |

| Siren Craft - Even More Jesus XII (collaboration with Evil Twin of NYC) | 12.00 | | Very oily 12%er. Poured through "that pump" ensuring it was presented quite flat |
