Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

Brewed by Theakston
Style: Old Ale
Masham, England

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a small off white head that quickly diminishes to nothing. The aroma is a dark fruit malt with raisin and licorice. Thin mouthfeel with a bitter fruit prune with a lingering yeasty finish. A strange old ale but easy to drink from Theakston.

[Bottle] Pours a dark amber, almost purple with a thin head that didn’t last. Aroma is roasted and slightly fruity. Taste is similar with an interesting sweet and bitter dynamic. Fruity accents with a touch of a sour note. Finish is a little more bitter but still very flavorful. Very interesting beer and the name fits. Definetely a keeper.

(12 oz btl) Oily dark brown pour w/ a foamy off-white head; fully diminishing. Dark fruit (figs) and molasses in the nose give no hint to toasted malt and earthy hop flavor. While the mouthfeel is creamy, it finishes surprisingly dry, but disappointingly watery overall. Fine example of the Old Ale style, but not a top performer for me.

Dark brown ale with an underlying amber glow and a finger of tan head. Smells and tastes of molases and sweet malts. I could certainly drink a few of these in a session.

Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is slightly fruity roasted malt. Flavor is bready malty with a slight bitterness at the end.

This beer was listed as an "old ale/barleywine" at an irish pub in louisville. It lacks the intense warming alcohol character I’d expect from either style. It reminds me a bit of Dixie Blackened Voodoo minus the tannic astringency. Very drinkable and becomes slightly better as it reaches room temp. The hard water flavor evident of the region is nice in a beer this dark.

Dark chocolate brown with a beige head. liquorice and chocolate. damn good, surprisingly good. delight.
