Some superb cask this week and best of the lot was, St Peters Plum Porter, which is odd in the fact I'm really not a fan of the more prevalent Titanic version, this one is much more complex and far better in my opinion, enjoyed more than once in The Alfred.

[Thuck Phat]

All local but decent variety:

Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Everards Orion
Everards Triple Jump
Everards New World IPA (keg)*
Burton Bridge Damson Porter*
Abbeydale Absolution*
Potbelly Dangerous Darren
Blue Monkey BG Sips*
Blue Monkey Infinity +1*
Fierce Dark Synth (keg)
North Riding Mosaic Pale*
Ashover Zoo*
Everards Hi-Fi

All decent with any of those starred worthy winners, especially the Absolution which was as good as I've had in the Seven Stars. BOTW has to be Blue Monkey Infinity +1 which was just superb in Early Doors.

[Bucking Fastard]

Rugby ,Daventry and around the Oval.

Pennine -- IPA *
Abbeydale -- Absolution *
Blue Monkey -- BG Sips *
Blue Monkey -- Infinity +1 *

Last three in Cask,Pimlico would have been worthy winners but topped by a superb Abbeydate Absolution in the Seven Stars as mentioned earlier.

My plans for a wander round Leeds on Friday went completely awry. In the end, I only managed a solitary pint. Fortunately, it was good enough to be nominated.
