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 courtesy CigarCityBrew. Pours dark brown with a large tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of cherry Kool Aid dust and a hint of roasted malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Good.

Bottle. Poured a deep brown color with a moderate beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, nuts, and some moderate fruitiness. Flavors include a sweet maltiness, some nuts and biscuit, light caramel, and light undertones of dark fruit in the finish. Decent on the palate, but a bit thin. From old notes, so it would be nice to try again.

pours a very dark amber color, smells of fruits mostly, the flavor is really sweet, hints of banana and other fruits and malts but this is not too heavy of an ale. Overall it’s very drinkable.

Bottle from West Lakeview Liquors, Chicago. Dark brown almost opaque with red tint and small tan body. Aroma is nutty, chocolate, a little biscuit, sweet like belgian candy sugar, a little molasses, very rich. Molasses is the first flavor with nuttiness, rasisins and other dark fruit, chocolate, very enjoyable but the alc comes out a little too much towards the finish. Medium body that feels a little watery. A very good beer overall even if there were a few things detracting from it.

Pours a very dark brown colour. This beer carries a nice nutty roasted malts aroma with a creamy caramel texture throughout each taste. Rich and a little touch of wood. a little sweet and a nice soft hops finish.

Huge head fades fast. Very malty, but has some fruity notes. Nose is nice, but not real strong. Creamy mouthfeel, very nice. I like it cellar temperature.

When you pour this beer, it is a half a glass of foam. It remains to be seen wheter that is a good thing or not. Dark brown opaque, large tan head that doesn;t last long enough. Good lacing. Alcoholic malt aroma. Bread, brown sugar, and hop flavor. Medium mouthfeel with slight bite. Good olde fashioned flavor and texture, taste, and appeal.
