This is a traditional English beer type that got its name from the iconic character created by the Monthy Python comic group. It has the traditional bitter yet malty balance while a bit of a light caramel aroma creates an
exciting taste.

Bottled. Murky brown with no head at all. Extremely slight aroma, some biscuitsy malts, but that’s it. Its taste is likewise watery and very thin bodied. No finish, light body, some carbonation. Huge meh.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle at 'Kuzin bar'. Clear, dark reddish amber with an off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity, herbal-grassy and a bit floral aroma of tea leaves, raisins and some caramel. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, herbal-grassy, slightly floral and a bit fruity taste of caramel, tea leaves, marmelade and a touch of raisins, followed by a short, moderately bitter, quite herbal-grassy and a bit yeasty-spicy finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!

hazy brown colour, large, dense beige-ish head; aroma of some floral, toasted and caramel notes; taste of toasted, biscuity and caramel notes, maybe some sweet berries, too; not bad, though obviously not among the best of the category

Kicsi, villámgyorsan elolvadó hab, barna szín. Karamelles, kissé fűszeres illat. A malátás, fűszeres, karamellás összetevők azonos arányban alkotják az ízvilágát, de ez egy kicsit semlegessé is teszi a sört, mondhatnánk se keze, se lába, mégis harcias :-). Könnyed, de szerencsére csöppet sem vizes, közepesen szénsavas és kesernyés, kissé száraz. Kellemes, vedelős sör.
