Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

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.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is sweet caramel malt. Flavour is sweet caramel, malt and some rostiness.

Aroma is floral and caramel malty. Clear, amber-brown coloured with a lasting, brown head. Taste is sweet, slightly bitter. Caramel malts, dark fruits and floral hops in it. Quite well balanced. Slitghtly sticky, medium body. Nice brew!

Bottle. Pours dark ruby with tan head. Aroma is malt, molasses. Flavor is molasses, caramel, vanilla, and malt.

Bottled. Reddish-brown, clear and without carbonation. Tan head. Dried fruits, sugar and some roasted notes in the aroma. Sweet flavor with dried fruits, caramel and roasted malt. medium body and a sweet finish. Quite nice. (060801)

Bottle. Clear brown (caramel) color. Nice thick creamy head. Floral, caramel and nutty taste. Good !

Nose is malt with a little fruitiness; Transparent brown with a small beige head; Malty flavor with a hint of coffee and dark friut and a small amount of hop bitterness in the finish.
