Not an easy choice because last weeks winner , The Road To Darkness was way out there again, but this week goes to keg and Disruption People Of The Hop Vol 3. Hops used in thes version are Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin and Mortueka. The Alfred strikes again.
A fairly dull week, all cask:
Brewhouse - Tramshed
Burning Sky - Aurora **
Dark Star - Hophead **
ELB - Pale *½
Five Points - Best *½
Newbarns + Burnt Mills - Present Tense **
Purity - Mad Goose **
Redemption - Hazy Pale
Sambrook's - Wandle :(
360º - Bluebell *½
Oakham - Session Stout **
St. Austell - Tribute **
Timothy Taylor - Landlord *½
By a long shot, BOTW goes to Kirkstall - Dexter ***½ taken at The Pembury Tavern. Probably the smoothest beer I've ever had and the best coffee/chocolate combination ever too.
Tamworth and Burton upon Trent.
Tiny Rebel -- 93 to Infinity
Neepsend -- Avalou *
Thornbridge -- Jaipur IPA *
Purple Moose -- Glaslyn
Blue Monkey -- Chocolate Stout
Wilde Child -- 4 Demensional Manifold *(keg)
Mallinsons --Columbus
Play Brew -- Fried Egg Lemon Meringue Sour (keg)
Carnival Brewing -- Happy Cowshake (keg)
Play Brew --White Skull * (keg)
Oakham -- White Dwarf
A mix of styles from which BOTW emerged as Wilde Child 4 Dimensional Manifold,a 9.5% toasted coconut,vanilla and cacao nib Imperial Stout .With high ABV and not served horribly chilled ,I find it difficult to differentiate between cask and keg when it comes to stouts,and this one was brilliant.A taster then a half,not sure a pint would have been a good idea early doors on a mini Burton crawl ,sampled in The Last Heretic.
Next week a trip to Ally Pally before the final footie of the season.
Some overlap with the above:
Tiny Rebel 93 til Infinity

Thornbridge Jaipur IPA*

Some interesting keg beers in there as well as quality cask. Really enjoyed the 4 Dimensional Manifold, the Chocolate Stout and the All Because of Captain Wow. Great dark beers.
