Worthy winners of Aberdeenshire Pub of the Year.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alechemy - Citra Burst | 5.40 | | Spicy with a touch of citrus. |
| Eden Mill (formerly Eden (St. Andrews)) - Seggie Porter | 5.20 | | Nothing wrong with the dispense this is just a one dimensional (coffee), thin beer. Looked great though with it's foaming tan head. |

Three dogs in the bar. All quiet and well behaved.
Regular beers; Landlord, Deuchars and Six Deg. North Old School will not regularly be reported.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

Locals and brewers. Great place. Same ale list as last visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - Unfined Confidence | 4.60 | | Perhaps less hoppy; but still bitter, brave, hazy and tasty. |

Stormy night with waves crashing over the break-waters. Another excellent selection of ales.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - Unfined Confidence | 4.60 | | Excellent, hoppy (Simcoe??) unfined red ale. |
| Out There - Celestial Love | 5.10 | | Too much crystal and, I think, rye malt in this red ale for my taste. |

After some dazzling cask beers recently there wasn't much of interest tonight. Luckily there was more than enough craft keg to choose from.
