BOTW Severn Brewing Prancers Porter. A very easy drinking, smooth porter from a new to me brewery.

A very average week, but, not too many execrable Xmas brews around, fortunately.

Roosters - Golden State.
Small World - Thunderbridge Stout.
North Riding - Mosaic.*
Thornbridge - Rattlesnake.
Colchester - Flaming Gun.
Tigertops - Honey Bear.
Rat - White Rat.
Fernandes - Hophead Pixie.
Fernandes - Rum for Cover.
Fernandes - What the Dickens.
Fernandes - Yule Love It.
Titanic - Plum Porter.*

Both the Plum Porter and Mosaic were in great shape, but the latter is probably in my top five beers for the year. Just so drinkable.
