Well I visited a JDW at lunchtime today, hadn't eaten breakfast so wasn't intending to have alcohol, but then the Exmoor Beast caught my eye - I thought of RD and knew I had to give it a go. Even if I was a lightweight and only risked a half (it is 6.6% after all)!

Got to be honest the first few sips I really wasn't impressed, not generally a fan of the darker stuff anyway. But by the end I did quite enjoy it, proper winter warmer on a fairly cold day was most appreciated.

However I think I'll nominate the Thames Valley Ale as BOTW.
