Vale Gravitas*
Beartown Eclipse*
Bristol Beer Factory Outer Limits*
Everards Old Original*
Thoroughly enjoyed all those starred with the Outer Limits, a 5% DDH IPA, looking odds on to take BOTW until the barrel ran out before the 3 pint test was complete. The Beartown Eclipse didn't run out so it takes BOTW. A very easy drinking, smooth, 4.2% stout.
