Bishops Finger Kentish Strong Ale is a connoisseur's beer with excellent credentials and pedigree. Fashioned on a firm, fruity foundation of Crystal malt, this rich, ruby-coloured Kent classic belies its burly appearance with a complexity of flavour. Mouth-filling fruit, prunes, plums and dried apricot spiked with palate-prickling pepper, cinnamon and a soft bitter blood-orange finish.

Nagy, tartós, piszkosfehér habú, gyönyörű, tiszta, rézszínű ital. Gyenge illat, maláta és kicsi karamell fedezhető fel benne. Kesernyés, kissé karamelles ízzel indít. A karamell hamar elillan, és a komló fűszeressége és keserűje erősödik fel. Utóíze tartós, keserű, némi fűszerességgel. Közepesen testes.

500ml bottle. Clear, dark brown/amber colour with a generous smooth off-white head, which unfortunately doesn’t last. Aroma is fruity malt and bitter hops. Flavour is also fruity malt, quite bitter, but also a slight metallic taste to it, otherwise quite nice though not the usual style I’d go for.

Pours a dark amber color, topped with a small off-white head, not really lasting. Very vague aroma, just a little bit of caramel malt and some grass. Taste is medium bitter, grassy with a bit of sweet feel. A bit metallic in the aftertaste. Nothing special.
