Bishop's Finger

This pint of Shepherd Neame Bishop's Finger was also enjoyed whilst camped out at The Bloomsbury. Bishops finger is Shepherd Neame's Extra Special Bitter and weighs in at a generous 5% abv. The flavour differs significantly from Spitfire with a more pronounced bitterness and roast character rather than the up front hoppiness of the Spitfire. The beer is also a lot heavier in the stomach and after two pints I swiftly swictched back to Spitfire. All in all Bishop's Finger is a good beer on the odd occation, but a little to heavy for a session ale. You can read more about it at the Shepherd Neame website here.
