Commercial Description:
Available filtered and pasteurised in bottles and cans.
NOTE: Only ratings for the bottled vesrion should be entered here. The cask version has a separate listing.

Full-bodied with complex fruit flavours, Bishops Finger is a strong premium cask-conditioned ale brewed to a traditional Kentish recipe. What’s behind the name? Well, a Bishops Finger is an unusual finger-shaped signpost still found in Kent, which once pointed pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. Only the finest malted barley, Kent hops and fresh water from our own artesian well are used in the production of one of Britain’s best-loved ales, which is also exported in bottles to more than 30 countries worldwide.

Bottle from Tesco. Poured a dark amber colour with moderate tan head. Aroma is nutty and spicey. Flavour is nutty and fruity with some hops. A strong, full bodied, complex, highly flavoured, high class session beer.

Dark amber and nutty in appearance with a loose head of foam. Aromas are nutty with spicy hops. Flavours are initially nutty then sweet and fruity followed by a dry roast finish. Its a bit of a mishmash that somehow balances out.

Nutty maltiness, slightly skunky. Abit of toffee. Not too great, but drinkable. Reminded me of Alt.
