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.

Bottle, 500ml. Pours dark ruby brown, with tan head that lingers for a while. Dark fruits, caramel and malts on the nose, and similar on the palate with a slightly bitter twist. Decent mouthfeel, medium bodied, and a respectable ale overeall.

500ml, bottle, aroma is less, nose isnt working 100%, but again a beer that makes me reconsider my thoughts about English ales. For a 5.6% this is a pleasant beer. Initial sweetness indeed, followed by coffee, a hint of banana and then earthy roasty stuff..firm head, good dark ruby color. Old Peculier im gonna finish.. ;-)

500 ml bottle, thanks to my beerpal Egil. ABV is 5.6%. Very dark reddish brown colour, big beige head. Nice aroma of malts (some of them apparently lightly roasted), vinous notes, dark fruits and berries. The flavour is rich and malty with just a mild roastiness, perfectly balanced by fruity hops with berry notes. Not an extreme beer in any way, other than being "extremely good".

12oz bottle from Orland Park Binny’s single rack. Pours dark ruby reddish brown with thick tan head. Aroma is dark fruits, toffee, toasted and caramel malts, and a hint of red wine. Flavor is rather dull compared to aroma. Flavors are toffee, caramel, malt, cherry, and dark fruit. Mouthfeel is a little watery but creamy. Weird. Drinkable though.

One of my favorites from the beginning. Pours a dark red/brown with a good cream head even from a bottle. Malty as I like, with some toffee. The end is a bit dry but you realize youre drinking a good english ale. I always enjoy this one.
