A decent selection ,and when partched I was surprised by how good Hobgoblin Gold tasted but BOTW has to go to Brew York Reese's With A Spoon,my big finish in The Nags .Peanut butter and chocolate Imperial Milk Stout with a massive peanut nose,good chocolate and then vanilla and despite a 12% ABV,it slipped down.Mind you only had a half ,after a great session with Moby and the crew.
Next week quiet until the footie kicks off again.

A lot of good beers to contest the title but it goes to Brew York Haze Of Thunder. Two pints slipped down with ease as would have a third but there were just too many other beers to get through in The Nags Head along with Mr Fastard and his merry men.

Fernandes - Half Nelson.*
Nailmaker - Plum Porter.*
Rat - Iron Rat.*
Tigertops - Edwardian Porter.* (5.8%)
Ossett - Mystic.
Fernandes - Wee Heavy.
Some very good beers there, but the porter was wonderfully smooth, rich and satisfying. All taken at Luis Bar @ Fernandes, where quality is superb at the moment.

Enjoyed all those but BOTW has to go to Brancaster Oystercatcher. An old favourite which isn't easy to find and disappears very quickly when I do.
