Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

Black, with hints of red, and a small white head. Aroma is definitely malty in nature. Taste is unlike any beer I’ve had before...is that why it’s "peculier"? Hmm.. Anyhow, I kinda like the interplay of nutty and sour tastes that I get. Sour finish. Is this beer distinctive to northern England? Must be.

A Mes rate: Burnt malty aroma. Virtually opaque deep red brown appearance. Slim head but good lace. Looks very inviting in my St. Feuillien glass. Initially bitter but this one for me is all about the finish. It’s like it doesn’t do much in the mouth but as soon as you swallow all the good stuff comes through. Fruity and red berries which gradually turn bitter and then a lick of sweetness at the end. Most unusual but I really like it.

was a really good beer had a nice color to it and a good flavor. if you can find this beer you should try it.

Pours a hazy deep red with a thin stable brown head. Nutty cocoa and caramel aroma with some vanilla. Toffee, molassas and I get the banana note too. When I think of Old Ale I think of Old Peculier. Recently dropped by our local distributor unfortunately.

Bouteille-Liquide brun très foncé, mousse dissipante, odeur de mélasse, goût difficile à identifier; malte rôti?--Bottle-Dark brown liquid, short head, molasse smell, taste hard to define; roasted malt?

Very dark brown, nearly black, with a healthy off-white head that slowly ebbs to a fine ring on top of the beer. Aroma included, earth, peat, caramel, maltose, hops and yeast. Flavor was malty, earthy, and hoppy. Sweet but well-balanced. Mouthfeel was nice -- full but not fizzy. There was a nice hop finish in the back of the throat. Great sessioner, I’d say.

Very mellow and smooth (much more so than you would think by looking at it). Not a particularly bold flavor, but it still tastes great and is very easy to drink (maybe TOO easy).

Bottle. A musty malt aroma - slight hint of sweetness. Dark coppery brown color with small head. Light cane sugar and malt flavor and a chocolate finish. Moderate carbonation - light flavor. Good, smooth, easy drinking. A few pints of this could go down quick.
