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.

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

this beer has england written all over it. just has a typically british flavor profile. a little sweet toffee and raisiny flavor with a slight roasted bitterness. no real signs of hoppiness. not a bad beer...i can imagine this would be fantastic on cask as a good session pub beer.

Deep brown in color. Nutty raisin and roasted malt in the nose. Complex flavors all balanced against a delicious roasted malt background. Yummy.

500ml bottle, poured a very dark ruby colour with an off white lasting head,very nice malted aroma, strong hints of coffeen and some hints of toffee sweetness in there too. dark fruitiness in the mouth, raisins and a good long dry finish, haven’t tried this for years so must buy some more

Dark brown with fast dissipating tan head. Fruity aroma, plummy and vinuous and malty taste with a lingering dry finish.

Bottle. Dark brown with a tan head that fell back rapidly aroma bizarrely like coca-cola rich malty taste with raisin fruit and a dry coffee finish. A strange combination that comes together surprisingly well.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown almost purplish ruby with a thick tan head that would lace the glass. Malty, richly sweet aroma with a tough of spice that can’t quite be pinned down. Hidden within I note a roast coffee with a touch of char or smoke buried in a sweet rich body with some definite dark fruit notes. Mouthfilling, almost foamy with a faint lingering bitterness. Not bad, but the combination of flavors on this one seemed a little muddled.

The appearence is a dark ruby brown, with a 3/4 to 1 in dark brown head. The taste mirrors the smell with a hint of molasses, maybe raisens or someting, and nutmeg. A great starter for those trying to get into the second level of better beer. This beer started my journey past APA’s, and dry stouts.
