    Just the 2 again. New Year's resolution: must drink more!
    The ever excellent Oakham Bishops Farewell and BOTW Hop Back Redsells EKG. An amber ale whose flavour punches above its 3.9% strength but unmistakably Hop Back.

    Another initially poor week saved by a last minute decision to jump on a bus to Reading Saturday afternoon ,

    Plain Ales Rat Catcher
    Courage Best
    Flack Manor Double Drop
    Flack Manor Flack Catcher
    Flack Manor Blackjack Porter
    Butcombe Bitter
    Darkstar Hophead Galaxy
    Downton Quadhop
    Downton Roman Imperial Stout
    Nelson Dogwatch Stout

    The winner is theHophead Galaxy a nice twist on the hops that works very well.
    The Roman Imperial Stout was also something to be reckoned with.

    Not that many to chose from this week:-

    Ruddle's Best Bitter 3.7%
    Sambrook's Powerhouse Porter 4.9%
    Brodie's Amarillo Pale 5.0%
    Brodie's Old Street Pale 5.0%
    Hambleton Nightmare 5.0%
    Brodie's Dalston Black 7.0%
    Brodie's Citra For Breakfast (keykeg) 10.1%

    You may well ask about the Ruddle's! I was determined to have some Haggis on Friday so ordered some at The Walnut Tree in Leytonstone to find that it was £6.09 or £4.99 with a drink. As all the cask ales were 4.5%+ or London Pride I ended up with Ruddle's Best. As the cost was effectively -£1.10 and it was clear and cool (just like tap water) it seemed a good deal.

    All of these were good (the Ruddle's WAS in good nick), but the outright winner is Brodie's Old Street Pale which really was in cracking form at the William IV on Friday. It reminded me of Summer Lightning when I first tried it in Salisbury 25 or more years ago. My recent experience of Summer Lightning was very disappointing.

    BOTW Brodie's Old Street Pale

    The day I had three pints of Doombar...

    Sharps Doombar-in good condition, but unspeakably dull and soulless.I'd never had this before, but any port in a storm...

    Dark Star-Hophead Galaxy- a new hop for me-I didn't know that they grew in Oz. Great beer, but too heavy on the wall fruit: I don't think I'd want more than a couple in one go. Having said that, it's an improvement on the Hophead that I've drunk in recent times. My BOTW.
