Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

Brewed by Theakston
Style: Old Ale
Masham, England

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a pint glass. Dark with a thin tan head, deep reddish brown when held up to the light. Aroma is light with notes of coffee and roasted malt. The taste is a wonderful combination of roasted malt and dark fruits with a mild sweetness and an earthy nose. I didn’t detect much bitterness. Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. This one will definitely be found in my fridge again.

Out of the bottle pours a deep dark brown with a fluffy tan head that doesn’t hang around long enough. Aroma is sweet and dry like scotch whiskey. Taste is of roasted malts and some fruit. Finish is long and bitter. Not bad just not great.

Dark brown with light brown head. Fruity aroma almost like wine with roasty tint. Sweet taste with slightly bitter finish. Nice beer.

Pours a dark red/brown with a nice light tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark fruit, and some earthy bitterness. Flavors of roasted malt, dark fruit, caramel, and notes of banana and earthiness. Thin to medium mouthfeel.

The inital sweetness gives way to a not unpleasant bitterness, but in doing so marginalises itself to a standard ale

Coffe colored, coffee tasting. Small head, full of subtile flavors like raisins and dried fruit. A hesitant, slowly deepening aroma. Intriguing.

Deep hazy amber color, average head. Smells a little earthy, a little caramel, a la Newcastle. Taste to match, this beer is very much like other commercially available English browns (Newcastle, Bass, Sam Smith Nut Brown, etc.) Not a bad beer, just nothing new. Winking Lizard Tour 2007
