# 64 - Shepherd Neame BISHOPS FINGER Kentish Strong Ale

Beer 64 - Shepherd Neame Bishops Finger Kentish Strong Ale.

Britain's oldest brewer so the stubby says! Pours a deep copper with a beautiful creamy head that lasts. Really good aroma and flavour of roast malt. The hop presence is obvious but not overpowering. 500ml at 5.4%. Beautiful!
The label probably jumped out at me a couple of months back, too - at a time when I was dealing with a most frustration and trivial dispute with my beloved Beaudesert Golf Club. It struck a chord, as I felt like giving their management committee the finger.....but of course I didn't! I actually haven't played a comp for 8 weeks, but will be making a comeback next Sunday - defending the coveted "SUPER SHOOTOUT" that I was lucky enough to win last year!!

My rating.....5




Thought for the Day.....here's a notice I was going to post at the Golf Clubhouse. Never did for fear of more serious consequences. So what the heck, I'll post it here instead.


BREAKING NEWS.......
In what is believed to be a serious coup at the Beaudesert Golf Club - the FUN POLICE have busted an illicit action in which an irritating little prankster was at risk of putting a smile on the faces of Ordinary Members!
Fortunately an intercept was made and security footage assured this outbreak would be confined to the instigator.
The FUN POLICE are proud to announce that through a swift and decisive undercover operation, the spread of this cancer has been halted!
They would particularly like to thank the Committee of 2006/2007 who had the vision to implement in house Security Cameras. "We are now reaping the rewards of their foresight - and able to correctly identify and convict repeat offenders, making this great club the dour golfing experience it was always intended to be".
Be warned - the FUN POLICE will not hesitate to create new laws when required, with new super powers, bestowed upon them by their superiors. Rest assured, they will remain vigilant in their ongoing war against humour. "We will jump on anyone who in future attempts to enjoy life too much - as they represent one of the greatest threats known to mankind today".
May a good sense of humour R.I.P.
