The standout BOTW was Salt The Hexagon Project #1,a great Baltic Porter aged in Bordeaux casks with a smooth richness and multiple flavours.

Next week sufficient supplies but need to plan the next delivery,might try Siren for something new and unusual.

Some good gear:

Bottles:
Titanic Plum Porter
Marble Decadence Ruby Port Barrel Aged 2020
Oakham Citra
Oakham Green Devil IPA

Cans:
Marble Lagonda
Marble Extra Special Marble
Marble Cross Collar
Northern Monk Tropical World
Marble Berimbolo
Marble Rapid Vienna IPA
Marble Chocolate
Marble Trials #2
Marble Cubbio Damage
Northern Monk New World IPA

Enjoyed finishing off some older Marble stock but BOTW has to be Marble Decadence Ruby Port Barrel Aged 2020. A 10.5% Imperial Stout bought as a treat to help endure these tricky times. Works very well as an after dinner drink with noticeable port sweetness. That along with the strength meant that it had to be tackled bit by bit and 660ml in one hit didn't seem wise.

A steady week , both the Wiper & True beers were outstanding, I'm going to have to give them a serious go in the next week or three, BOTW [B]2568/B] a 5.6% IPA , great quality, clean drinking with distinct flavours, excellent.
In the coming week I have a few top end strength cans from Gipsy hill and awaiting delivery from Vibrant Forest later this week.

Not managing many beers, I think only 4 last week,
Bottles: McEwans Champion, Brewdog Elvis Juice
Cans: Clockwork Tangerine and Brewdog vs Cloudwater NEIPA
I don't like the aesthetics of murk (or lack of) but will give it to the latter 2569 for the nose and flavour, I'll just have to sup blindfold, but difficult when the match is on...

Had some really good beers from Salt.Amazing that they have gone from a start-up brewery about 2 years ago to the imo one of the best around.

It's not really new - just an Ossett Brewing brand?

Wasn't aware of that? I know Rat are owned by Ossett.
It appears Salts Director (appointed 2019) is a former Ossett director(resigned 2016), registered office is the same for both.
