| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltaire - Triple Choc (was Triple Chocoholic) | 4.80 | | Superb chocolatey stout with a slightly more bitter finish than it used to have. My score 19/20. |

Busy with swift turnover of clientele.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thwaites - Nutty Black | 3.30 | | Cask ran out after my glass was poured but was still in good condition and tasted as I would expect this beer i.e sweet and unhopped with a malty finish. My score 15/20. |
