Another fine addition to the Black Sheep flock of premium bottle ales. This ale was specially commissioned to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Monty Python in 1999.

Ten years later on the 40th anniversary Holy Grail is still going strong. With more hops than a killer rabbit, it's a full-flavoured golden ale with a distinctively fruity flavour followed by the Black Sheep signature dry finish.

We brew Holy Grail with Maris Otter malt, an old and expensive variety that is renowned for the taste and the quality of the beer it produces.

A mixture of old English Hop varieties including a touch of WGV hops gives Holy Grail its lovely fruity nose.

We use a touch of wheat which helps deliver the lovely creamy head and lacing down the glass - just what you would expect from a proper Yorkshire beer!

Bottle from House of Trembling Madness. Not expecting much but I've never tried it so here we go...Bright amber colour, clear, with then white top. Aroma of sweet malts, slightly floral hop and a touch of corn. Taste of near burnt biscuit like malt, quite a floral bitterness with some resin. A touch tinny and thin. It grew on me through, its quite drinkable.
