| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chiltern - Chiltern Wheeling | 4.20 | | Darkish and malty. A chore to finish |
| Titanic - Cherry Porter | 4.90 | | Fresh cask on, almost first out and very bitter with none of the tasting note's sweeter attributes. Hopefully gets better balanced as cask is consumed |

Late evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Southwark - Single Hop Series Ariana | 5.00 | | Unexceptional hopping but good condition |
| Chapter - Hinges | 3.90 | | The promised pineapple "punch" was a pure tap |
| Kent - Cobnut | 4.10 | | I have had some superb Cobnut pints over the years but this was awful. Only recently put on. Any poured head disappeared in seconds to leave a glass of flat liquid. Real chore to finish although no off flavours present |
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | Not Tried | Must be tiring now |
