Shortish last knockings visit until close. Although brief I found all the staff very personable, chatty and a happy team.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Cheapest Abbot in any Spoon's I imagine now at £2.34. The bitterness came through in Abbot's possible taste spectrum |

| Sambrook's - Brown Dog Riot | 4.50 | | |
| Twickenham (also uses sub-brand Old Hands) - Grandstand Bitter | 3.80 | | Eventually convinced bar staff that should not be as cloudy as a joint cumulonimbus and cirrus cloud so it was swapped out, but left on sale |
