The Plum Porter was very good,but I always nominate it ,so BOTW goes to Five Points Pale ,a fine session quaff sampled in various pubs on the 38 crawl.
Next week boating into Leicestershire ,Everards territory.
I've been in the Midlands and Southampton this week so only two of these were in London
Black Sheep Pathmaker 4.0%
Titanic Stout (Keg) 4.5%
Hook Norton Mild The Gap 4.5%
Oakham Bishop's Farewell 4.6%
Piddle Mad Hare 4.7%
Leatherbritches Ashbourne IPA 4.9%
Vibrant Forest Summit 5.0%
Dancing Duck Indian Porter 5.0%
Market Harborough Premium Brown 5.1%
Bad Co Dazed and Confused 5.5%

Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild 6.0%
Oakham Green Devil (Bottle) 6.0%

Unusually I would say every single one of the above had some merit and there was nothing even approaching a dodgy pint. The winner is Dancing Duck Rosetta as tried for £3.35 in the Burslem Bull's Head.
BOTW Dancing Duck Rosetta
Kent
Pig and Porter-Fatal Flaw American Amber Ale 4.5%abv.'American' but not hyperbolically so. Fruity hops.
Old Dairy-Spring Top 4%abv.Lively, peppery.
My BOTW-Fatal Flaw, taken in the ever reliable Black Dog, a house I intend to visit with regularity throughout Spring and Summer.

Pig & Porter - Fatal Flaw.

Both the Sonnet and Cloudwater beers were very good, but I'll give BOTW to the Pale as it was nearly 1% weaker.

BOTW Salopian Kashmir. A proper IPA.
