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.

Dark brown with a rather short head. Aroma is malty, caramellic and fruity. Flavour is malty and fruity with a nice bitter finish.

Pours deep mahogany color with malty aroma and thin head. I don’t really like this style very much, but it was good. Nothing really wrong with beer but style is a bit plain and there isn’t anything very memorable in the flavor. Fine beer but nothing I can imagine myself craving.

A nice darker colored beer. Nutty and a bit like a nut-brown ale. Seemed to have some alcohol flavor with some kick. GOod brew...I would recommend.

Aye what a nice surprise for a mid weekend pint, with an aroma being roasty/toasty even earthy with elements of butterscotch. The appearance is not so spectecular but still a nice red/brown, cloudy/frothy colour. It is lightly bitter, with a medium sweetness to it which marks the earthyness, strong heavy ale flavour. The palate shows a totally full body, lightly creamy with a lively fizziness to it and a long finish!

500 mL bottle shared with Lubiere (thanks Luc!). App.: deep reddish-brown, smallish tan head. Aroma: diacetyl (butterscotch), dried dark fruits, woody and vinous, caramel and toffee. Like a strong Newcastle Brown (am I allowed to say that...?). Palate: med.-thin body, a touch flinty, med.-full carbonation. Flav.: woody, raisins, roasted malts, nice finish of burnt sugar and a touch bitter.

Dark brown, nearly black appearance. Thick, foamy tan head that leaves some sticky lacing on the glass. Lots of carbonation. Sweet malty aroma with some hints of cocoa and some light spiciness. Malt-dominant flavors, with elements of cocoa, spices, and a light fruitiness. Smooth and velvety mouthfeel, perhaps a bit "light", but a very dry and crisp finish. Good stuff.

Very sweet and a tad malty, but slightly bland for an ale of 5.7%. Not to my liking at all and stereotypical of a dirty northern brew of low quality. Northerners should stick to baking bread, putting ferrets down there trousers and beating their wives!
