Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

Brewed by Theakston
Style: Old Ale
Masham, England

Pours dark redish brown with a frothy light brown head. Aroma is moderatly malty of toasted bread and grain, lightly hoppy and heavy yeast notes of grape, cherry, red wine. Flavor starts balanced twords sweet, complex dark fruit and cherry flavors dominate. Finishes a bit sweeter yet. Medium bodied, creamy and softly carbonated.

Pours deep chocolate brown with a thin, medium tan head. Nose is roasted malt and chocolate with some coffee. The flavor is the same but a bit more bitter, as is the finish.

Translucent clear brown color no real head to speak of and no visible carbonation. Nothing special to look at. A tasty molasses caramel and malt aroma. The smell indicates a too stickily experience. The taste is malty but not nearly as sweet as the aroma would indicate. A bit of hops mixed in does lead to a peculiar beer mostly because the smell betrays the sedated taste

12oz bottle. Deep brown amber color, looks filtered and/or fined. Sweet dark fruit aroma. Dark malty taste, very smooth on the palate. Sandy hop balance to the rich chocolate malts. Never really realized that this was an Old Ale. To me the taste is of a true dark English Mild and a roasty Porter, mixing some of the best elements from both. Excellent session beer or sipper. Classic.

Sweet and sticky malty beer. Tastes of caramel. Has a somewhat thin mouthfeel - may have been a little too cold when I sampled it down at the stuffed sandwich. No head at all to speak of.

Pours brown/amber with head that fades quickly. Aroma is very malty... and datey. Flavor is slightly spicy, caramel and a touch of hops.

Well this one finished a little tour of English beers we took this weekend. Brown/amber pour. Tan head that faded rather quickly. Aroma is very malty with some hints of caramel, toffee, dates, raisins and syrup. Flavor is nutty, spicy, toffee, caramel and a slight hints of hops. Not bad at all.

Poured a dark brown with tannish highlights and head that did not linger. Smells of malts, raisins, dark bread and fig.... Tastes of nuttiness, roasted malts, hops, and spices. A good beer to stock in my pub fridge for a night of darts with the guys.
