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.

Midway between a bitter and an old ale, I would say. Coffe and toffee from the malt, grass and resin from the hops. Fruits, too - raisins and apples. Very drinkable - a complex and interesting ale.

Pours a rather dark brown with a lovely thick light caramel head. Slightly fruity aroma with hints of apple and banana. Roasted malts dominate the flavor with a bitter finish. Thin bodied and sort of boring but passable. Definitely overpriced.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a medium head. Nice caramelly, malty aroma. Flavor is mostly that of roasted malts with a decent mouthfeel and a slight bitterness in the finish. I was hoping for a bit more complexity in the flavor than I found and a bit sharper finish. However, I may have to resample... my palate is a bit off from a nasty coffee burn. heh...

Bottled. Pours dark brown with a bit of a reddish hue. Wispy tan head that glistens back down the side of the glass when it’s swirled. Malty aroma with brown sugar and chocolate notes. Malty and smoky with tons of roast and chocolate flavors. There’s a good bit of fruit character as well. Surprisingly bitter. Dry finish. Very carbonated.

Bottled. Pours dark red-brown with a tan head, leaving nice lacing on the glass. The aroma has fruit tones, hops, and malt, as does the initial flavor. Sweet up front, very matly, with hints of whiskey with a nice tinge of hops to the finish. Medium palate with a bit of fizziness. A great ale!

Pours a dark reddish brown color. Aromas of wood, dark fruit, and some sweetness. Flavors of whiskey?, caramel, and some faint hops. I love this beer.
