Fisher's DAPA (bottle) (8.5%)
Wylam -Hickey the Rake (2 pints )
Very poor week.

Stewart Brewing - Pentland Ipa
Bad Co - Wild Gravity

Goose Eye - Pommies Revenge

Harrogate - Stray
Roosters - First World Problems
Bristol Beer Factory - El Choco
Brew York - Maris the Otter
Brew York - Tonkoko

Another two pub week
Flowewrpots Perridge Pale
Ramsbury Gold
Severn Chocolate Stout
Isle Of Avalon Pomparles Porter
Adnams Mosaic (keg)
The Porter was decent but the Perridge Pale was excellent and BOTW.
A very average week.
Northern Monk - Eternal.*
Blue Bee - Tempest Stout.*
Ilkley - Holy Raspberry.
Salt - Jute.*
Oakham - JHB.
Stancill - Blizzard.
North Riding - Cascade.
Great Heck - Patrick.
Five Towns - La Mure.
Empire - Porter.
Acorn - Old Moor Porter. (bottle)
Saltaire - Cascade. (bottle)
Mount St Bernard Abbey - Tynt Meadow. (bottle)
The Eternal was the comfortable winner, this week. I always have to try it, if I see it on the pumps, anywhere. Sampled, on this occasion, in The Hop, Wakefield. Finally got round to trying some Tynt Meadow (English Trappist Ale) and although it was good, I found it a little underwhelming, lacking intensity, for my palate.
BOTW Marble - Rainy Giraffe (can). A 6.5% melon India Pale Lager. Sounds bizarre but was tasty and refreshing.
Me too, I'll be sticking to St Bernardus, Westmalle and Orval.Quote:

Goacher's-Special House Ale:3.8%abv. Fine,but lacked the earthiness I relish from Goacher's.
Indoors,I wasn't overly impressed with Adnams Mosaic Pale Ale.
My BOTW,Kent KGB.
A pathetic short list this week with just one day spent in pubs:-
Enefield EB 4.0%
Sambrook's Pumphouse Pale 4.2%
ELB Jamboree 4.8%
Windsor & Eton Conqueror 5.0%
Enefield London IPA 6.0%
I'll go for the Conqueror ahead of the Jamboree as tried for £1.99 at the rejuvenated Leytonstone Walnut Tree during the JDW January Sale.
BOTW Windsor & Eton Conqueror
I did wonder if it was just me, so it's quite reassuring to read that. TBH, I'm a bit of a Trappist tyro, so I'll make a note of those three and endeavour to try them over the coming months.Quote:
