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.

I had to lower overall because it peaked on all other categories. one of my favorite beers. carmel malt, full body, dark look, no aftertaste but strong flavor. can’t wait to find it on tap. will continue to buy my share.

Carmel and molasses notes and lack of hops do not work for me. A well crafted ale in a style I do not favor. Not too sweet. A boosy flavor that goes beyond the alcohol content. Concurrently both bitter and sour. Same-old reserved label with just lettering and fancy bottle I see out of England-- subtle like the brews but also a little pompous. The english ales and some stouts never seem very heavy.
