THis is the brewery’s take on Old Peculiar. Chewy. Big. Not very interesting. I’ve never been a huge fan of Old Peculiar either.

Clear garnet with beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, earthy, floral. Taste is mild sweet, earthy with medium bitterness, caramel, light vinous alcohol. Finish is medium bitter and somewhat sour. Medium body, medium-high carbonation.

Dark, reddish brown appearance with a small head. Nose was fruity(thinking red, like grapes and plums). Not as hoppy as their Winter Warmer; this has a more pronounced sweet malt taste. Nicely carbonated with a good, medium bodied mouthfeel.

This is a very black ale with a toffee head. There's a strange acidic overtone with a bitingly bitter flavor, not at all pleasant. Mediciney. Not recommended.

Very enjoyable english ale though not remarkable. A solid example of the style, appearance and aroma seem to be its strong point. Sometimes seems that flavor is hindered by coldish serving temperature, probably because it is contrasted to their cellar temp hand-pulled beers. worth a shot.
