Due to The Regal Moon in Rochdale having a Stouts & Porters festival, I've had quite a choice of dark beers this week.

Titanic Plum Porter, Vale Black Beauty & Mallinsons Cullen Stout all came close.

But........ Thwaites's in good beer shock.......

Not my favourite brewery by any means but this weeks BOTW is going to be Thwaites OBJ tried in The Baum. Dark Ruby Red in colour and very dangerously drinkable at 6.5%.
