Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

12oz bottle Pours Very dark brow. Topped with a light tan head. Aroma of a little smoke. Ver smooth.

Dark ruby with a small white head. Thick malt caramel abounds with a sticky and syrupy mouthfeel. Some raisins and a little smoke towards the end with a mild bitterness. Satisfying session beer but I didn’t find it nearly as good as many other reviewers. Maybe I’m the Old Peculiar.

Black but slightly translucent body with very thin offwhite head. Smells malty, kind of earthy maybe? Similar to a Scottish ale in aroma. The first thing I noticed about this beer when tasting it was the mouthfeel. It is a fairly thick feeling beer. Very impressive in that department. Tastes sweet and malty. Almost no hop to speak of. Also has hints of a black licorice or rootbeer flavor to it (the aroma had this too). Kind of roasty too, but not enough to make it more similar to a porter. Reminds me in many ways of a Scottish or Scotch/wee heavy ale. Very tasty. Complex flavors, but well-balanced. Does not hit you over the head with any particular flavor or the entire flavor in general. Not something I’d drink everyday, but I’m pretty impressed.

Nice color, smallish head. cream, blackberry, moss? Not as strange as its name implies,. Nice full bodied feel.

Smells like a typical english ale, but the taste is something else. Bitter, bossy, and hoppy up front, tastes a bit Scottish. However, the finish gives way to a slightly creamy sweetness that is very delectable. It’s also slightly fruity. Very nice, an on-a-whim buy that turned out to be great!

Pours dark brown with a thick fizzy head. Aroma of rich sweet malt and alcohol. Sweet and malty flavor on a medium body. Wierd old fruit flavor that finishes the taste.

Pours dark amber. Small head that dissapates. Aroma bready and banana. Flavor semisweet caramel and dried fruit. Not much of a finish. Not to impressive.

Bottle from friend from England. Pours a nice rich amber color with a nice frothy head that dissapated shortly therafter. Left a nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt and nuts. Has a medium body with a taste of caramel and fruit. This is an realy good brew that I could sit down and dring a few of. Very Nice!
