Black Sheep Monty Pythons Holy Grail

Draft. Poured a hazy golden body with thin head. aroma is light hops and caramel. Flavor is caramel, light hops and malty.

Bottle, bought @ Vinspecialisten, Kolding Storcenter.
Pours amber with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma er mild caramel, a bit of fruitiness and good grassy and flowery hoppiness. Low carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, some good peachy fruitiness and a mild chocolate and hoppy bitter finish. Quite alright.

Bottled. Clean, light orange. Thin but creamy head is white. Ok lacing. Aroma is malty, a bit fruity (grape, orange) and has also some berries in the finish. Caramel malts and medium hops in the finish. Flavor is sweetish caramel and in the finish softly bitter. Dries up towards the finish. Quite smoot texture but stil a bit too carbonated and foaming. Medium bodied. Easy to drink.

Pours dark orange color with nice layer of froathy bubbly head. Aroma is weak - a bit sweet grass and floral. Flavor is light, thin and watery but with some sweet maltiness and a bitter dry hop finish, though very very mild. Overall, ok for hot day, but overall, nothing special.

Bottle. Pours a largish head, which slowly deflates, no lacing, mild slightly hoppy nose, initial taste sweetish, later pleasant hop bitterness. Not much to it.

A nice golden-brown hue with a white head. A nice wood-like or earth aroma to it. A great hop profile on the flavor. A decent mix of bittering hops and floral hops. Finish was crisp.

From a small bottle purchased at Johns Market Place--Poured a deep amber-copper hue with a thick white head. Nose of cardboard and caramel malts with some spicy hops. Flavor of sweet honey and earthy nuttiness. Hard to drink. Sweet and something off. Disappointed that Monty Python’s name was associated with this drab beer.

[500ml bottle] My workmate Justin bought this back as a gift from Scotland, having bought it in DOune Castle where large parts of the Holy Grail movie were actually filmed (cheers Jus!). Pours a golden-brown with a large but diminishing white head. Moderate soft carbonation. Taste is honeyed, with some grass, dusty hops. The Black Sheep earthiness is still there, but less evident than in their other beers. In fact, overall I’d say this beer is a little on the bland & watery side for an ESB. Nevertheless, it’s very drinkable and more-ish, and far more pleasant than you expect for these sort of silly-name movie tie-in beers. Not bad at all.
