    Only one pub visit so BOTW was always going to be Adnams Yuletide,very similar to Broadside and equally undistinguished out of a plastic mug in the Flora Sandes ,Fort Neef.

    Next week a bit of boating will bring some pubs into play,New Years Eve is not the time to hit the Hertford pub scene.

    Only one visit to the pub for me this week as well, and only the one beer taken Acorn Barnsley Bitter . I did have lots of lovely bottles at home though purely medicinal as I have a stinking cold (again) and was hoping to drown it in alcohol as usual.

    I've had a good week!

    Mighty Oak IPA 3.5%
    Cross Bay Nightfall 3.8%
    ELB Pale Ale 4.0%
    Dark Star Partridge Best 4.0%
    Brentwood Berry Christmas 4.3%
    Buntingford Polar Star 4.4%*
    Palmer's Dorset Gold 4.5%
    Church End Vanilla Stout 4.6%*
    Dark Star Winter Meltdown 5.0%*
    Titanic Festive Thirty Five 5.0%
    Jennings Snecklifter 5.1%
    Mordue Headmaster's Christmas Sermon 5.2%
    Kelham Island Captain Chrimbo 5.4%*
    ELB East India Spice 5.5%*
    Dark Star Creme Brulee 5.9%*
    Greene King Abbot Reserve 6.5%
    Dark Star Imperial Stout 10.5%*

    The easy winner is the Dark Star Imperial Stout I had this on three occasions during the week at the E17 Rose and Crown for the very pleasing price of £3.90 a pint. The Creme Brulee was pretty good too!

    A gentle week:
    Oakham Citra*
    Milk Street Bobbled
    Oakham Bishops Farewell*
    Everards Tiger
    Salopian Holly Bush*

    BOTW Salopian Holly Bush. Warming malts to kick off but with a bitter enough finish to tempt you back for more. Dangerous at 5.5%.

    One of the quietest Christmas' I've ever had, booze wise, but did manage a couple of gentle sessions.

    Fernandes - What the Dickens. *
    Fernandes - Simcoe.*
    Fernandes - Malt Shovel Mild.
    Ossett - MMM.
    Thwaites - Nutty Black.
    Phoenix - Spotland Gold.
    Roosters - Fort Smith.*
    Roosters - Black Math.
    Fernandes - Cascade.
    Fernandes - Wyte Magik.*

    Easy winner was the Wyte Magik, a pale, hoppy brew made with Citra, Nelson Sauvin and Admiral. Just the job, to perk up a jaded Christmas palate.

    Another new brewery to me Tweed.

    Their Winter Tweed went down very well on a couple of nights in The Baum.

    4.1% mid brown bitter, not my normal style at all, but this was malty AND hoppy. Very nice.
