Black Sheep Ale

Just had a bottle of this for the first time in ages - absolutely delicious! Had forgotten how good this beer can be and how hoppy it is. Does anyone know what hops they use?

Fuggles, Goldings and Progress whole hops, and late hopped with Fuggles (Bitter - 31 IBU) or Goldings (Special/Ale - 36 IBU) depending on the beer - according to my 1995 copy of the Real Ale Almanac. Of course that may have changed now.

Personally I find the bitter to be one of my favorite session beers, but the ale I am not overly fond of! Can't work it out as it has all the hallmarks of a reet good pint too!
