Black Sheep Monty Pythons Holy Grail

Pours a bright clear copper, topped by an inch of sudsy cream colored foam. Adequate head retention and webby lacing. Sweetish malty aroma, with caramel and slight butterscotch. Nice blend of sweet caramel and dry biscuit malt. Tangy and lightly herbal hops for balance and a pleasant residual bitterness. Seems to have more alcohol than the 4.7% listed. Smooth and mellow

Cold 16.9oz bottle: Pours a cloudy copper color with a nuggetty ivory head. Aroma is of rich malts, light fruits, caramel and lemon with floral notes. Taste is of rich malts, caramel, lemon and floral hops with some light fruit notes. Light to medium body, crisp and well carbonated. Ending is earthy and dirty.

(BBE 10/06) Dark coppery colored, medium sized yellow head. Aroma is sweet with caramel and strawberries, some bitter hops also there. Medium bodied. Flavor is more bitter with fruits and caramel, some lemony tones too. Aftertaste is dry with strawberries and some lemon.

This is the Black Sheep bitter that was a Christmas gift. This was an umimpressive bitter. Monty Python is a cool name fo the ale.

Yep, standard bitter but I enjoyed this one, cool bottle, hey gotta love Monty Python. Just saw Spamalot a few weeks ago so I am on a kick.

Bottle. Standard english bitter. Aroma and taste of malts with hoppy and fruity notes. Nothing special.

It seems to me that 90 percent of the beers I try in Canada are sweet, so maybe they import only sweet beers from England or something. So anyway, the beer is reddish amber. Smells all caramel and malty. The beer itself is all sweet, then has a coffee finish. Little spicy taste on the side. I don’t know if this is really an ESB... no bitterness or anything. Quite a good brew overall though.

On tap at the Yardhouse, KC. Light caramel color. Mild, hoppy aroma. Hoppy flavor, with metal and grapefruit. Has a pleasant wheaty, yeasty sweetness. Alcohol bite at the end, stronger as the beer warmed.
