Wadworth, The Bishop's Tipple (England) 
Brewed in Devizes with "substantial quantities" of Saaz and Styrian Goldings hops, this strong beer pours a light gold colour with a persistent white head leaving plenty of lacing round the glass. The nose has a toasty, sweet malt character, with a floral aspect and very intense, clove-like spice. On the palate it is very rich, creamy and full, with a powerful core of plummy red fruits, and a barley-wine character with plenty of bitter, oily hops pushing into the finish and a slightly overwhelming alcohol intensity. This is a very fine beer, though a bit of a mouthfiul. 6.5% ABV, 50cl, �1.89, Sainsbury's. |  |
