Black Sheep Special Ale
core range

Special Ale

Superbly bittersweet and an icon of our collection, Special Ale holds a special place in our heart.

As the second beer we ever produced here at Black Sheep – and the first of our bottled beer range – it remains a firm favourite with both our team and our customers.

First brewed in 1994, Special Ale is a robust and agile amber ale. It carries an explosion of fruit on the aroma and palate, with the fruity esters offering notes of raisins and pear drops. The malt blend provides notes of toffee, caramel and biscuit to perfectly balance the flavoursome British hops.


Bottles of Black Sheep Ale are available from our online shop
