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.

12 oz bottle. Poured a nice dark color with a decent head. Aromas were very nice. Chocolate, caramel, other malts. The flavor lost out a bit, with some unexpected bitterness that didn’t seem to fit in. Didn’t get any fruitiness or bananas. Still a decent drink.

Pours dark brown with a of white head that quickly diminishes. there is little lacing. the aroma consists of chocolate and some coffee. there is also a hint of something sweeter, maybe caramel. Flavor is very creamy with little bitterness and some sweetness. It is a little bland for my liking. It also has a litte bit of an alcohol aftertaste. not bad but not great.

peculier aroma, with hints of coffee, scotch, and molasses. The coffee aroma carries over to the taste, which comes on strong and has a dry aftertaste. Surprisingly watery texture considering how thick it looks.

Thick color, but thin taste, some bitterness but little to back it up, some medium malty flavor, and it feels heavy in my belly, but not much on the mouth, smoky perhaps

Pours dark brown to black with acreamy off white head. Lasting with nice lacing. Aroma is toffee, molases and brandy. Flavor is malty and fruity, but fairly light. Finish is dry and bitter, carbonation is lively. Texture is watery.

Sept, 2002: A long standing favourite of mine. Chrissie and I noticed a distinct coffee flavour. Never fails to please. [3.2]
Aug, 2005. Filtered and carbonated bottle. Yes, it tastes very clean and plastic. There is a lacking of that earthy edge you get from living beers. But, having said all that, this is a very pleasant drinking experience. I have a fondness for this in the same way that I have a fondness for Camp coffee. It is pleasantly malty sweet. I do remember this as being something to treasure when it appeared on cask - but even the cask version seems to have gone downhill over the years. Or that may just be familiarity breeding contempt. Anyway - a nice beer to have in the house, but you wouldn’t get it out for the posh guests. [3.1]
Dec, 2006 Blind tasting with Riggwelter, Strong Suffolk and ESB. 1st place. Dark reddish brown colour. Gentle prickly carbonation. No foam. Aroma is of baby poo, vanilla, faint chocolate and strawberry jam. Soft, caramel, red fruits. A finishing tree bark bitterness. Interesting movement from initial soft flavour. Intriguing and interesting flavours. Inviting and changing. A pleasant, compelling and satisfying beer. [3.5]

Bottle. Poured thick and brown with garnet highlights when held to light and little to no head. Aroma features darkly roasted malts and a little bit of a sourdough bread nose. Flavor is sweet and astringent with dried fruits and nice bittering hops evident. Mouthfeel is full and lightly carbonated. Definitely peculier and quite good.

Bottle. Really unique flavor. Pours dark with reddish hints and a small head. A really good drinker.
