Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

purchased at wine a little in port orchard, washington.
pours a black with a red tint, thin white head.
smell is sour malt, roastiness.
taste is cocoa, roasted malt, touch of caramel, some sweetness in the back, slightly bitter in the end.

Pours a deep brown ruby color with a small head. Fruity malt head with some sour cherry notes. Flavor starts out very sweet and malty but finishes with a mild fruit sourness and some bitterness. Light-medium in body, nice crisp refreshing quality. Overall a good example of an old ale.

Fucking poms. They make some crazy brews for sure. This one is interesting and could degrease my engine the next time I do a rebuild on it. 5.6% alcohol. Should be stored in a bunker for safety.

Appearance: Dark, dark brown, redish. A bit of head. Aroma: Fruity, honey. Taste: Nutty, not too bitter. Info: 500ml bottle, 13/9-2005, 11/300, 7/500

This is what you show to non beer drinkers to show them what a great english old ale can be..............world classic.......doesnt get much better

2008 Bottle - Old ale in every sense, aroma is pale, flavour is much brighter, old fruit, yeast, some tobacco, this is a pretty thin ale, but slightly enjoyable, this has potential and there were characteristics I liked, maybe I was having an off day but it was just okay this time...

Dark brown, not quite opaque, with a one finger tan head. Aromas of coffee, nuts, biscuit, and a bit of caramel. Likewise with the taste, though the caramel sweetness came through a little more strongly. Medium body, a bit thin, nice bitterness lingered in the end.

pours dark amber with quickly disappearing head. aroma is slightly roasty. tastes a lot like a dark lager. fairly drinkable as a session beer.
