At times referred to as just Black Sheep Ale (cask).
Our second ever beer. A complex, premium bitter.
Back in the day, Best Bitter was lonely, it needed a companion. We knew we needed a quality, premium strength beer that would stand alongside our cracking session Bitter... we present to you, Black Sheep Ale.
Black Sheep Special Ale is a powerfully flavoured pint that packs a punch with rich fruit aromas and a distinctively smooth, bittersweet taste. As well as the popular cask version, we started bottling this in 1993 and today it is one of the best-selling bottled beers nationally; available in all major supermarkets!

Cask Conditioned at Charlie’s Pub, Copenhagen
Hazy amber color. Earthy malt aroma. Fresh malt taste, easily drinkable, caramel, with a precise apple character, ending with a bold bitterness.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy amber beer with a fine orange head. The aroma is sweet matly with notes of caramel - warm and inviting. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel leading to a dry bitter and woody end.
