Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

Bottle. Small head with short duration. Color is dark brown. Aroma and taste are malt, alcohol, grapes, raisins and notes of anis.

Pours a dark mahoghany. There is a noticeable banana hint. Large malty notes in the aroma and flavor with an almost acidic aftertaste. Not bad, not my favorite.

Bottle from my local evil supermarket. I hate that place. A pleasant surprise, the only beer I’d left to try on the shelf and it was pretty pleasant. Dark brown, looks like a coke with a decent creamy head with good lace. Caramel, toffeeish kind of flavour with a little roasted malt. Nice finish. Not bad really.

Pours out a dark coffee color with no head. Taste is fruity and roasty. Sweet with a little bitter. Nice English Ale.

12 oz bottle. Well, this definitely is a peculier beer. Pours dark brown, you can almost see through it if you try hard enough. No head on this glass of colored darkness. Aroma and flavor had barely detectable notes of malts, fruits..and yes, I can taste the banana as the commericial description claims. A bit light in the body, and where’s the bubbly? But it had a longer finish that was rather enjoyable. Overall...nothing too exciting.

Hits the spot! Aromas of chocolate covered cherries, some yeast esters and sweetened malts, an initial head that settles down, the flavor never wavers through the whole experience and is decently complex as described with some vinous notes of dark fruits and some bitterness on the finish, the palate is medium, being just the side of thin instead of full, but a long finish lets me enjoy this one with my kit kats.

Pours a watery brown, no head. Very caramelly and malty aroma, biscuity, maybe a little fruity. Taste is similar, nice sweetness with a slightly bittersweet, lasting finish. Clean and crisp for such a sweet beer, and fairly light-bodied.

Brown colour, small creamy head. Aroma has toated malts, and some fruits. Flavour has sweet and bitter malts. Not very likable.
