Most were outstanding beers but the one that really blew me away was Langham Aeghir, a 7.5% Smoked Baltic Porter, despite it's strength it passed the 3 x half pint test with ease.

Easy winner for BOTW in Oakham Kaizen,a full flavoured cask aged 5% IPA with a wide mix of American,Australian and New Zealand hops together with five interesting malts produced a wonderfully complex ale with lots going on.Served in NBSS 4 condition in The Barrel Vaults,even the plastic mug could not detract from the enjoyment.
Next week all about Preston,looking forward to it.
