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.

From the 12 oz bottle, poured a deep, opaque river-bottom muddiness and a frothy whipped head. With a deep sugary nose, the full-bodied flavors don’t exactly sneak up on your palate. Sweet and sugary with a toffee-fullness. Pleasantly bittered, but with a sweet almost black grape essence at the very end. Makes me crave some smoked almonds. (#2667, 1/28/07)

Bottle. Pours a lavishly clear and dark reddish brown/brick hue. A creamy light tan head sits atop and clings to the glass as it descends. Aroma is subtly fruity and sweet with a sour alcohol note. Slight metallic aroma (import) like a grip of old coins. Muddy toffee notes open to the nose as the ale warms. An old earthy dustiness rounds out this beer. The flavor is bighty on the palate. Hints of vanilla and caramel dominate the middle. Finishes somewhat bitter, and mildly alcoholic, with lingering pleasant sour pear and grape nuts. Light/medium moutfeel. "Uncle B’s, A little rusty and dusty."

Bottle: Brown, reddish colored pour with an off white head. Aroma, yeast, grassy hops, some sweet malts. Flavor, grassy and earthy hops, with some caramel in there as well. Eh...

Dark brown with a rather short head. Aroma is malty, caramellic and fruity. Flavour is malty and fruity with a nice bitter finish.

Pours deep mahogany color with malty aroma and thin head. I don’t really like this style very much, but it was good. Nothing really wrong with beer but style is a bit plain and there isn’t anything very memorable in the flavor. Fine beer but nothing I can imagine myself craving.

A nice darker colored beer. Nutty and a bit like a nut-brown ale. Seemed to have some alcohol flavor with some kick. GOod brew...I would recommend.

Aye what a nice surprise for a mid weekend pint, with an aroma being roasty/toasty even earthy with elements of butterscotch. The appearance is not so spectecular but still a nice red/brown, cloudy/frothy colour. It is lightly bitter, with a medium sweetness to it which marks the earthyness, strong heavy ale flavour. The palate shows a totally full body, lightly creamy with a lively fizziness to it and a long finish!
