Early evening visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap East - Experimental Vanilla Latte in the Morning | 5.60 | | In good condition but lacking a reasonable balance of coffee and vanilla with far too much of the latter. Sickly, I should have bought just a half |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
