A crawl round Nottingham and Sheffield gave a great variety of breweries and beers, but I have to go for Castle Rock Screech Owl 5.5%. Superb. Had a few and enjoyed them all.

Nothing outstanding this week, but the pint of Boggart Rum Porter I had in the Knott, Deansgate, Manchester was pretty good on a cold winter's day, as was the O'Hanlons Port Stout which has made a welcome return to my village local. However, on balance, I'll think I'll nominate the Hydes Yule Be Back which I had in Maidstone today (and which should be widely available as part of Wetherspoons Christmas Ale selection).

I've been busy ticking off all the strong beers at the Euston Tap and can recommend the Left Hand Imperial Stout if you like a trip to the dark side. However my BotW goes to another strong stout and a holdover from the JDW Festival, Wadworth Pixley Blackcurrent Stout. Very drinkable for a 6% beer and the blackcurrent doesn't dominate the taste. Didn't find it during the festival but glad I have now.
(I think perhaps we should have a dark beer version of this)
I've just joined Alcoholics Anonymous - I still drink, just under a different name.
A relatively quiet week on the ale front but the discovery of Thomas Guest's Cobbler, an excellent, traditional best at 4.4% was a highlight. However, based purely on it being a true 'bounce out of the glass' pint my BOTW is Dark Star's American Pale Ale.

Only had a few pints this week best was Black Sheep Riggwelter 5.9% very nice Pint.
