Theakston Old Peculier (Bottle)

Brewed by Theakston
Style: Old Ale
Masham, England

Dark brown ale with an underlying amber glow and a finger of tan head. Smells and tastes of molases and sweet malts. I could certainly drink a few of these in a session.

Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is slightly fruity roasted malt. Flavor is bready malty with a slight bitterness at the end.

This beer was listed as an "old ale/barleywine" at an irish pub in louisville. It lacks the intense warming alcohol character I’d expect from either style. It reminds me a bit of Dixie Blackened Voodoo minus the tannic astringency. Very drinkable and becomes slightly better as it reaches room temp. The hard water flavor evident of the region is nice in a beer this dark.

Dark chocolate brown with a beige head. liquorice and chocolate. damn good, surprisingly good. delight.

(Bottle from Co-op) Pours dark with a hint of red, but no head. Aroma rich, with dark fruit and ripe plums - a hint of banana like everyone says - chocolate, butterscotch and a malt syrupyness. Taste is exactly the same, fairly sweet as the prominant flavour, mlaty with a little hop dyness. Warming alcohol and a somewhat prickly carbonation. Rich and particularly good for an English ale.

12oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a nice thick tan head. Smells of toffee, roasted malt, and sweet fermented fruit. Tastes of prunes marinated in honey, roasted malt, some coffee syrup covered dark cherries, some alcohol. Some medicinal flavor, and overly sweet. Some bitter in the finish.
