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.

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 a deep, deep amber red (only seen through backlighting) with off white head that diminishes rapidly. Aroma is malty and the flavor is of chocolate and of burnt toast. There is some bitterness to balance the flavor. Overall, this is good.

Pours light red brown with a short off-white quick disipating head. Nose of toasty malts, dried fruits and a little bit of port. Minerally and fairly light. A bit of sweet tropical fruit, I didn’t get the banana but maybe some pineapple. Grapes. It’s nothing like I expected. It is pretty good. Finish is very dry for the style with a bit of peppermint and herb in the finish. Odd. Found this in Kyoto.

Pours directly between cola and ruby into the glass... and initially tan brown froth diminishes quickly to a ring lace. Dark toffee, sour grains, sileage and roasted bananas greet the nose. Nice sweet, yet pale malt integrates well with bananas and dark fruit on the palate. Toward the finish, I get roasts and bitters coming through, rounding out at the end with a lingering smoky bitter back. Mouthfeel is medium-light, with an almost liquor "twinge" to it. Well-integrated and makes for a decent late-nighter.

english pint / interesting ale, and delicious. like a slightly fruity roasted stout without coffee, moreso toffee and syrupy sweets... cremey yet thin mouthfeel, and everything seems to be so subtle, but together it makes quite a nice package. although interesting, although delicious, i don’t know... i’d have to have more and at other times...

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...

Pours dark brown with a thick fizzy head. Aroma of rich sweet malt and alcohol. Sweet and malty flavor on a medium body. Wierd old fruit flavor that finishes the taste.
