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.

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

Bottle 0,5ltr: One of the granddaddy’s of England. A Dark brown ale with some roasted taste, also some choclate taste.

Very sweet and nutty beer. Pours a nice brown with a nice white head. Smell of malt, sweetness. Taste is very mild and fruity. Kinda of a dry finish with no aftertaste. I think I’ll have another
