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. pours an opaque brown color with a foamy tan head. smells of dark fruit, yeast, and some banana candy. sweet roasted toffee flavor with some banana presence, somewhat reminiscent of a Belgian dubbel. a bit cloying but not so much that I couldn’t enjoy the beer. finishes fairly clean. a bit too hearty to be session material but still quite tasty.

Dark root beer appearance from a brown bottle. Clean fragrance. taste is certainly peculiar to say the least. Not exceptionally rootbeer citrus bitter yet offensive to an extent in it’s own interesting way. Calm leather and saddle mixed with dirty root vegetables. At times seems to be alky in nature, but not like 6%. A near chocolate finish withoout medicinal attributes.

Deep neutral brown color. Medium head that dissipates at a medium rate and leaves a lot of nice lacing. Nose of nuts, bread, and dark fruit with earthy notes. Coffee and chocolate taste with bready and subtly fruity notes. Dry, smoky and complex finish of dark malts.

Bottle. Pours a reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma is liquorice, chocolate and soy sauce. Flavour has a good body and notes of liquorice, chocolate and some tar. The finish is burnt malts. Quite good!

Dark appearance, holding up to a light, wine red in colour with a thin light beige head. Very light fruity aroma. Fairly thin bodied with low carbonation. Low bitterness. Sweet malty flavours. Other than being a little on the watery side is not too bad at all. - 500ml bottle.

Characterful beer with peppery dry finish, fruity nose, quaffable palate with medium carbonation, subtle depth, smokiness, and nice deep brown hue.

black pour with a thin, frothy cream head. thick roasted malt smell and a malty, spicy flavor. not too shabby at all.

Expensive! Weaker flavor than I had expected. Pours a deep brown, with some translucency in the pour but none in the glass with a off white head. Aroma of malt and not much else.
