Mostly dog owners so a relaxed atmosphere. Plus 6dN Gatherum.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cromarty - Raptor | 5.50 | | Vary bitter. Asked the barman if it was supposed to be hazy. He didn't know. Tasted ok but Simcoe and Eukanot are not a happy combination. |
| Windswept - 1806 | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Burnside - Flints Gold | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Poets day and very busy so we sat outside.
6dN Gatherum on cask.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windswept - Hurricane | 4.50 | | Surprisingly malty with a hefy and slightly unbalanced hop kick. |
| Loch Lomond - Draff | 4.70 | Not Tried |

Only two 6dN cask beers. Gatherum and Velodrome. No guests.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot - Mochaccino Milk Stout | 5.50 | | Quite sweet with plenty of vanilla and cacao nibs. A strong milk stout (keg) and not really to my taste. |

All change. Rob, the bar manager, has gone off to work at the 6°N brewery. The new bar manager is Robbie who used to be head chef.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | | As it should be. |
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Dark Island | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Burnside - Chain & Anchor | 4.20 | Not Tried |

New staff behind the bar struggling to get WiFi working.
Only one guest in a sea of cask and keg 6DN beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stewart - Citra Blonde | 4.00 | | Nothing wrong with the serve but it pales (no pun) in comparison to say Jarl or Oakham Citra. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windswept - 1806 | 5.00 | | Typical roasty Scottish stout. |
| Stewart - 18 | 5.60 | | Sour. Either it had gone off or had not been pulled through. In either case it was undrinkable. |

Busy. Perhaps short staffed but service was a bit slow and sullen.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loch Lomond - Southern Summit | 4.00 | | Unremarkable. |
| Cromarty - Brewed Awakening | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Cromarty - Hit The Lip | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Quiet inside but absolute racket from pnuematic drill along the harbour piers. You wonder why they choose the peak holiday season for heavy civil work.
Also 6DN Criterium, a slight rough and ready 7.3% West Coast IPA.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyne - Jarl | 3.80 | | Very fresh. Struggled to fill the glass. |
| Stewart - 80/- | 4.40 | Not Tried | |

Quiet with local trade
