    Not managing much pub time, at the moment, so particularly enjoyed my Sunday afternoon wander, this week.

    Mallinsons - Too Little Too Late.*
    Half Moon - Dark Masquerade.
    Tigertops - Hop Sessions.
    Ilkley - Lotus IPA.*
    Five Towns - Nightfinisher.*
    Luddite - Smashing Topaz.
    Yorkshire Heart - Ghost Porter.
    Durham - Rufous.*
    Fernandes - Hophead Pixie.
    Durham - Godiva.
    Rat - Queen Rat.

    Barely a cigarette paper between the Lotus and the Rufous, but the former, an old favourite, just takes it. Sampled in Harry's Bar.

    Quality week with visits in Blue Monkey territory:

    Blue Monkey Infinity*
    Blue Monkey Chocolate Guerilla*
    Blue Monkey Infinity +1*
    Blue Monkey Chocolate & Amaretto Guerilla
    Blue Monkey Jungle Project Banana Split*
    Marble Persephone*
    Purple Moose High Hops
    Vocation/Overtone Karate Kiwi
    Almasty Nectar*
    Ampersand Cocow
    Aldwark Artisan Ales Frankinstein Porter*
    Hop Back Summer Lightening*

    Thoroughly enjoyed the Blue Monkey beers but BOTW was Aldwark Artisan Ales Frankinstein Porter at Just Beer. Unexpected as it's a new brewery to me but this is a proper, rich, tasty, 5.4% porter.
