Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

Bottled from Tesco, and probably my favourite ale at the moment. Had a very deep flavour of Citrus, oats and fruits some of which I can’t pin point. Has a very nice bitter kick to the end of the bottle.

Porter-like appearance. Medium-strength alcohol on the nose with a dose of molasses swirling in the background. Comes out a little thin in the flavour department, with vague semblance of charcoal and molasses drifting through the palate, but overall quite watery. Quite innocent for a strong.

Looks great in the glass, a deep red brown with a nice creamy head. Flavor is malty, toffee, slightly roasty & nutty. It’s sweet but in a good way. I think it has an appropriate bitterness. Very tasty and went down easy. There was just a hint of sourness that I didn’t care much for.

This beer is fabulous any time and good for any dishes! This is not too strong. Good aroma.

Pours deep red with a small, quickly-dissipating head. Aroma is very fruity, mostly banana, with very light floral and vanilla notes. Flavor is kind of disappointing. Not much to it, just biscuity English malts and a light hop bitterness. Vanilla in the aftertaste. I’ll stick to the Olde Suffolk.

Dark brown clear beer with a cardinal-red shine; creamy, dirty-cream coloured head leaving flimsy lace. Toffeelike, syrupy nose - candi syrup or even maple syrup, and sweets, just a tad buttery aroma. Bitterish, fresh hoppy and slightly metallic start over a caramely, and soft-roasted malt base. If there’s diacethyl, I cannot nail it. Not overwhelming, forceful or sensational, but with a very weighted balance. Pasteurised it may be, but stands its own better than a lot of microbrews without filtering. Well-bodied, far above its 5.5% ABV, velvety MF. I KNOW this might be brewed again at Masham, thanks to the MBO. I do NOT know if that knowledge influenced my appreciation - but this seems BETTER than I remember. Problem is - I used to drink T.O.P. BEFORE the big bad takeover. Go figure.

Bottle. Pours a deep brown with a hint of red. Nice light tan head. Rich, malty flavor, almost chewy. A touch of sweetness makes this a very enjoyable brew.

dark clear copper/ruby chestnut color. a lot of fizz going up the center. medium head that is creamy/foamy and light tan. aroma is honeyish sweet malt, slightly grassy. mouthfeel is very light and almost watery. medium carbonation. sweet caramel/toffee maltyness. very weak bitter finish. I’ve had this 15 years ago at the Khyber Pass in Phila PA, and it had much more flavor then. now it’s a shell of it’s former self.
