✦ High ABV: >5% ✦ 2.8+ units per pint ✦ 230+ kcal per pint ✦ Two pints = over 5 units

Strong bitter (above 5% ABV) is a high-strength ale with a pint providing 2.8+ units of alcohol and over 230 kcal. At this strength, two pints in a session exceeds a fifth of the 14-unit weekly maximum. While it may offer complex hop and malt flavours, from a health perspective the elevated ABV makes moderation especially important.

Preparation note

At this ABV, a single pint contributes nearly a fifth of the weekly 14-unit guideline. Limiting to one and alternating with water is a practical approach at this strength.
