17:15 Went to see the Landlady's new hairstyle. A No.3 cut all over. It looked far better than we expected.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grain - Redwood | 4.80 | | Identical to Friday evening. |
| Lacons - Jack Valentine | 4.20 | | Getting towards the end but noticeably less sweet. |

19:45 Charity evening during which Sam the Landlady was to have her hair shaved off. We watched the preparation but left before the act was carried out.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grain - Redwood | 4.80 | | |
| Lacons - Jack Valentine | 4.20 | | Bit sweet for me. The beer is named after a folklore character that is apparently unique to Norfolk. |
| Grain - Best Bitter | 4.20 | | Very sweet. Neither Steve the cellarman or I thought it was as it should be. |
| Taylor's Attleborough - 4.1 | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Taylor's Attleborough - Dark Vanilla | 4.30 | Not Tried |

18:30 Fairly quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taylor's Attleborough - 4.1 | 4.10 | | Unnamed new beer. Dark with a touch of bitterness. |
| Taylor's Attleborough - Dark Vanilla | 4.30 | | I do not like vanilla in beer and baulked at the thought of it. However, I was reminded that as B.L.O. I was duty bound to try it. Very subtle flavour. I enjoyed it. |
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Wychwood (now brewed at Banks's) - Dirty Tackle | 4.00 | Not Tried |
