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.

Near black colored with red hints. Vanishing brown head. Sweetness, raisins, plum, licorice and mild alcohol in aroma. Medium bodied. Flavor is also nicely plummy and licoricy, some roastiness there too. Aftertaste dries with biting carbonation and hops. I like this plum there, it also lasts in aftertaste.

I have always loved this beer, it was one of my first "real" beers. What a day to have found it yet again at the greatest beer store, Knightly Spirits.

Just when I think I’ve tried it all and can’t be "wowed" any more a refreshing change of pace like this comes along and reminds me I am still a baby in the beer world! Not much of an aroma to speak of. Pours a coal black with a thin off white ring for a head and no lacing on the glass. This complex beer starts out malty with wierd caramel taste in the background. Tastes of iced tea and roast. Pleasing and refreshing!

Intoxicating smell, rich and sweet. Finish long and mellow, moreish. Looks good, smells great, tastes good - get some! Always one of my favourites when I can’t think of anything new to try.

33 cl bottle, Fargo. Deep cola colour, malt, sweet and slightly spicy aroma. Sweet, minimally soapy flavour, short sweet malty aftertaste.

Worcestishire sauce? Smokey nose. Thin palate, simple. Very bland, low malt profile. Finishes with a molasses flavor.

It doesn’t sustain. But it is still good. Woodsy. Smells like burnt pizza crust. Delicious flaovr, but quits early. Needs to be a little longer on the tongue. Tried Old Engine Oil if you would like to see how this should really taste

Bottle. Sweet, smokey nose like bbq sauce. Reddish black with no head. Interesting malt profile, flavorful until the finish. Palate is nice, whiskey-like, and sharp.
