Commercial Description:
Bottle; Pasteurised.
Its initial sweetness is, apparently, "of roasted and vinous notes with a subtle bitter aftertaste". Strong fruitiness, often with "banana notes" standing out, is derived from Old Peculier’s fermentation process.

It pours a rich deep brown, about the color of cola, and not much of a head. The strong aroma is malty with a hint of toffee and even a bit of cola-like scent. Rich flavor is strongly malty with some hop bitterness and a whisper of toffee. This is a very tasty and satisfying ale, good either on its own or with a meal.

lovely brew thats a bit mysterious... is it a porter or is it a stout or is it just a top fermented copy of a dark lager

Pours a deeper brown with amber highlights and a medium bubbly off white head that diminished quickly. Aroma of dark fruits, hints of banana, some chocolate, cocoa and lightly toasty/roasted malts along with some nuts and fruitiness. Flavor of some lightly roasted malts, nuts, some chocolate, dark fruits, hints of banana and a light hop bitterness.

A nice rich almost fruity aroma, with a medium malty flavor. This beer has a good color. Thanks Pete for the tip Mate!

Bottled 50cl. 5,6 ABV. It pours a dark ruby beer with a fast diminishing white head. The aroma is of grapefruit, licorice and caramel. Some hints of oranges and dark chocolate. Slightly metallic. The taste is rather malty, buttery and nutty. A medium bodied beer with a fairly low bitterness. A dry buttery finish follows with some nice caramel elements. Poor lacing.

Well. I had the rare opportunity to sample first the imported version and then a bottle brought to me by an Englishman. Thanks for that Vinnie! Very similar, but the English version (which includes the words "The Legend" on the label) is a bit fresher, smoother, and sweeter. Lovely garnet color. Full body. Rich malty slightly bittersweet flavor. Toffee, dark cherries, dark chocolate, fine carbonation. Tried ’em both at at Bodega downtown La Crosse, WI USA

Bottle. Bought and brought home from Cockney Pub, Aarhus. Pours a great dark red with a small creamy off white head. Aroma is mild, there are lots of caramel, roasted malts and some berries. Low carbonation. Flavour begins mild, then turns great. Some roasted caramel, liqourice and a little chocolate. Not as stunnig as on cask, but still good.

Bottle. This is one of those beers that you see on so many shelves and never get around to trying. Well at last I have tried it and what a pleasant experience it was. Dark and inviting and poured without a head.Plenty of body and pleasantly malty.Quite a full body without being overpowering. excellent-why did I wait so long?
