Twelve Days is 5.5%.
Since Hooky re-formulated the Best Bitter making it 3.6% instead of 3.4%, I don't think it is as good.
For awhile The Bell in Adderbury (once my second home) used to sell the old style Hooky Bitter branded with its own name (something the Brewery did for awhile) and it was called Old Chimer, and that was good.
I now live in the USA and Hooky is like gold dust or hen's teeth. You can get it in Bottle form through a USA importer and via one of their distributors, but every time I try in Massachusetts, they are out of stock!!!
