Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

Not much of a head. Reminsicent of Tooheys Old while cole, but opens up nicely with time. Caramel. toffee and spiciness at the end persist. A quality brew.

500ml Bottle - poured a nice dark deep red with decent head retention. Fruity nose, sweet toffee/banana flavour that really makes it unique. Nice liquorish finish. Excellent ale.

Bottle - Pours a light brown - dark amber color with a thin tan head. Small nose of sweet fruit, roasted coffee, can’t really smell the banana, though. Surprisingly light bodied, with very low carbonation. Slight fruit sweetness and very slight bitterness at aftertaste, with a very subtle alcoholic presence. I faintly taste the licorice when I read what others said here. Altogether not a bad beer, but I was however, expecting a little more impressive and intense flavor. (EDIT:) I just read MelbBrewers JD who said it should be enjoyed semi-warm - might re-rate this as I have a 6 pack.

Blackish ruby red with a frothy tan head which slowly dies away. Medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Not a bitter beer but neither is it overly sweet. Roasted, Fruity, vinous, with traces of banana. licorice and just a touch of alcohol showing through. Long, slightly sweet, finish. A very pleasant beer.

Poured into a pint glass with a ruby brown hue and a small creamy tan head. Aroma is vinous. Initial taste is fruity, smokey. Finishing with a slight black licorice and bitter finish. Light body and Last heading.

xxx pretty good brew all around, drink this if available, there r plenty better, but still very good

Decent. Tastes like a sweet porter. Does not have much hop character at all. Malty and sweet, with a slightly bitter finish.

Pours dark like a brownish red with a caramel head. I like the look of it. Nutty aroma. Full body. Very flavorful. Last time I had it was about six months ago so my comments are based on memory. It is hard to find in New Hampshire but I think it is available here. I have better luck when I’m brew shopping in Massachusetts.
