Another week vastly inferior to Moby's impressive selection, must try harder:

Adnams Ghost Ship*
Oakham Bishops Farewell*

A toss up between the Golden Thread and BOTW Brancaster Oystercatcher which just nicked it due to being in particularly fine condition.

BOTW goes to Three Hills BPAVK from Ya-Bard.The long name includes Choc/Caramel/Peanut and all those tastes were finely balanced in a 10% rich stout.The schooner flew down.
Next week back to Cambridge for a long pub lunch,then end month outings to Hertford and a pilgrimage to the Nags Head ,Reading so there should be decent contenders to work with.
