[Bucking Fastard]

A modest week.

Gun Brewery -- Pale Ale
Harvey's -- Sussex Best
Brewhouse & Kitchen Highbury -- Geniuss Stout *
B&K Highbury -- Old Major
B&K Highbury -- Goalscorer IPA *
B&K Highbury -- Peasants Revolt IPA* (keg)
B&K Highbury -- London Calling (keg)

BOTW goes to Brewhouse & Kitchen Highbury Geniuss Stout ,one of the best stouts I've tasted .The current head brewer at the Highbury site was showing off his considerable skills with this seasonal brew.

[Thuck Phat]

BOTW Brewdog Elvis Juice (bottle). Described as a grapefruit infused IPA and packing a suitable punch at 6.5%. Great name, great beer.

[aleandhearty]

Quiet weeks seem to be the norm at the moment.

Fernandes - Session IPA.*
Ossett - Snake Mocha Stout.
Fernandes - Polaris.
Titanic - Cappuccino.
Rat - Regal Rodent.*
Fernandes - Cascade Torrent.

The Session IPA and Regal Rodent were equally enjoyable, but as the former had great flavour, with a lower ABV, I'll make it the winner.

[Mobyduck]

No trips anywhere last week so reliant on my local.
Red Cat Scratch
Wild Weather Serendipity APA
Purity UBU
Ballards Golden Bine
Long Man Long Blonde
Brewdog Elvis Juice (bottle at home)
I'm not counting the bottle which was excellent, so BOTW is Wild Weather Serendipity APAalso very excellent.

I'm going for the Monty's Dark Secret which is a fine strong stout. an honourable mention must go to the Pied Bull Matador which on the face of it is an old school strong golden ale but had a big hop aftertaste. This was tried for £3.33 (discounted) in the Chester Pied Bull and the Monty's in their Newtown Sportsman at £2.90 (discounted).

BOTW Monty's Dark Secret

[Real Ale Ray]

Pentrich Brewing Co. - Blossoms at Night 6% certainly packs a punch

[london calling]

Kent -Cobnut ( superb black beer) in the Queens Head Kingsx

[ROBCamra]

Imperial Platinum Blonde. A nicely fruity 4% pale ale. Just right for a session.

Tried several times in The Baum.:cheers:
