Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

Brewed by Theakston
Style: Old Ale
Masham, England

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

This is a wonderful must try ale. It is a full flavored beer that offers different flavors and aroma’s as it goes down. it has a wonderful dark and redish color. When I had it I was imediately surprised at it’s unique flavor and taste. It offers a good balance of flavor mixed with a subtle sweetness and nutty aroma which is very refreshing and satisfiying.

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.
