Black Sheep Monty Pythons Holy Grail

Lemony, fruity aroma. Flavour complex and balanced ranging from overripe apricots and a wide swathe of malt notes to a heartily bitter finish.

Fountain of foam as I opened the bottle. Pours a mostly clear light brown head with a slightly tanned head. Lacings. Quite malty. Lots of caramel. Not so big hopsprofile. Medium bodied. High carbonation. Sour, bitter and slightly buttery finish. Not so good; nice bottle though.

Not the most amazing of bitters, to be sure, but still enjoyable. It’s for drinking (while looking at the label), not analyzing - you won’t be overly impressed but also will have no problem drinking it. Black Sheep has many other finer offerings, but one buys this for the novelty factor, right? I keep an empty around myself...

I must say that the bottle is quite clever, and the beer is more than drinkable. This is not among my favorite British ales, but it is a hearty medium bodied offering, with a bit of caramel sweetness and a bit of a roasted flavor. Slightly bitter, and quite tasty.

had this on tap at the Berkley Front earlier this summer. poured a nice amber with a nice sizes light tan head that left some nice lacing. aroma got some caramelized malts with some hops, a bit of fruitiness and that is all folks. flavor, not much going on here did get some malt and hops, has a bitter finish which would be the only thing going for it.

500 ml bottle. Good carbonation. Brown-red color. Bitter taste. Nice but a bit disapointed for a bitter. Leaves you with the bitter after taste. Medium-dry.

My personal favorite English ale. Nice caramel flavor. Foamy, slightly creamy head.

Hazy dark amber body with a medium frothy off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Sweet caramel flavor with a slightly metalic aftertaste.
