BOTW goes to Twickenham Honey Dark,an unusual brew easy on the honey but there in the background with a dark chocolate aroma.Not really sessionable but interesting.Taken in the Barrel Vault.
Next week rail strikes playing havoc with footie and drinking plans,could be very modest.
A very good standard of beer in the post Christmas week.

But way out in front was an exceptional NBSS 4.5+ (tempted to give it a 5) Kelham Island Attachment 2793, the fact that Thornbridge are now brewing it hasn't damaged the beer one bit, dare I say improved it, presented in perfect condition in The Wonston Arms.
Kent;rather lacklustre.

Greene King Abbot Reserve
The Abbot Reserve was much better than standard Abbot but I'm not sure that it deserves the accolades given by some. I preferred BOTW Brancaster Brewdolph. With a name like that it has to be a seasonal, Christmas beer but I think this year's may be better than last. Initially it's malty and almost too sweet but that's offset by Christmas spices and a refreshing bitterness. Three pints? No problem.
