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.

Classic English old ale - one of the benchmarks for the style. Poured an ebony colour, with a short-lived tan head that laced well. The aroma is sweet and dry, with molasses and juicy berries. Medium-bodied and smooth, like a porter. Dry, with a gentle btiter finish. Succulent berry flavours - cranberries, blackcurrants. A triumph. (Bottle)

Dark muddy brown color with a thin off white head. Malty aroma with some toffee notes and light fruit. Light sweetness, some roasted flavors. Some cocoa notes and hints of fruit.

Dark almost black in color with a red glow. Tan head didn’t last long. Alcohol smell overwhelms the aroma but the taste is very nice smooth and rich palate. I liked this one alot. My sample was aged well as my sister tells me it had been in her refrigerator for almost a year. A nice reward for helping her with the move. I like this one and will buy more!

Yorkshire Ale in the galss is a very deep amber. It has a tan head the forms a nice lace. The aroma is very sweet from the malt almost like butterscotch. It smells as though it would be a heavy beer but surprisingly it is rather light with a very sweet malt flavor with some even lighter fruitiness.

On the pour looked black in color, hold glass to the light and you get a ruby red color to the body. Had thin tan head that disipated. Good carbination. At first wiff thout it was wine. Alcohol was the flavor till half way though the glass it was of a fruit flavor. Good beer glad someone allready had it and gave this one to me.

Deeo reddish-black, moderate head with nice lace, aroma of dried fruit, medium-weight with sweet malty flavor. Drank one, poured the other one over a beef roast with some apple cider and garlic. Both hit the mark.

Clear ruby colour, medium-sized fluffy head. Nice fruity aroma, sweetish palate with hints of Cabernet and caramel. Fairly good but try cask version instead...
