With apologies to ROB if I'm jumping the gun but if I don't kick this off now I'll completely forget what I've had!
Four standouts for me this year other than the ever reliable Oakham Bishops Farewell:
Titanic Plum Porter
Salopian Kashmir
Marble Lagonda IPA
Blue Monkey Ape Ale
Sadly, circumstances didn't allow a 3 pint test on the first two, which I hope will be rectified in 2013.
The Lagonda IPA always flies down and is one of my all time favourite beers, if not all time favourite and has been a BOTY for me before.
Which leaves my BOTY Blue Monkey Ape Ale which for a 5.4% IPA style beer just seemed to disappear. Magnificent!
