Only two really in it for BOTW, Five Points Railway Porter was excellent in The Queens Arms in Walthamstow Village.
However just beating it was a fantastic Thornbridge Jaipur IPA enjoyed in MC & Sons in SE1.

Some real quality this week,the Aurora on top form is just beaten to BOTW by Titanic Plum Porter in superb form in Craft Beer Co. ,Islington.The nose is all wrong,but the flavour and lingering bitterness of the PP just tempt the drinker into serious consumption.

Next week looks very quiet,although I'm not doing any dry January malarkey.

The clear winner is the Dark Star Imperial Stout (£5.50), the other two were really just palate cleansers. Sadly it looks like they won't be doing it next year.
It doesn't really kick off again for me until next week.
