Old Dairy: Breakfast Stout 6%abv. I was bemoaning the fact that I hadn't seen any dark 'uns this Autumn,when I not only found this, but learnt that Larkins' mystical Porter was coming next. I couldn't wait for the Porter, but the stout was pretty damn fine.Full bodied,bible black,dry,chocolate.
Shepherd Neame: Master Brew Bitter 3.7% abv.To be fair, enjoyable after a long walk.
My BOTW-ODB's Breakfast Stout.
No beer this past weekend due to man flu but a few mid week visits to The Alfred still gives up a half decent list.

I was very impressed with Mallisons Brit Hopped subtle but distinct citrus flavour with a nice bitterness and sessionable at 3.8 %, brewed with hop CF- 190, on this showing CF - 190 should be getting a proper name soon, an excellent BOTW
North/Thornbridge collaboration - North Bridge. A "mountain ipa" taking a mix between East and West coast IPAs.

BOTW just has to go to Oakham Green Devil IPA in superb form in The George,although Big Chief and Railway Porter would have been worthy winners in it's absence.

Woodforde's Old Bram
Brancaster Brewdolph*
Adnams Ghost Ship
Adnams Broadside
Suffered the odd aging barrel this week. Nothing vinegary just obviously coming to the end.
Enjoyed the Brewdolph and it may have made BOTW had the welcome not been so hostile where it was served so BOTW goes to TT Landlord. In excellent nick and well poured it flew down as an appetiser to my first Christmas lunch.
