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.

Hits the spot! Aromas of chocolate covered cherries, some yeast esters and sweetened malts, an initial head that settles down, the flavor never wavers through the whole experience and is decently complex as described with some vinous notes of dark fruits and some bitterness on the finish, the palate is medium, being just the side of thin instead of full, but a long finish lets me enjoy this one with my kit kats.

Pours a watery brown, no head. Very caramelly and malty aroma, biscuity, maybe a little fruity. Taste is similar, nice sweetness with a slightly bittersweet, lasting finish. Clean and crisp for such a sweet beer, and fairly light-bodied.

Brown colour, small creamy head. Aroma has toated malts, and some fruits. Flavour has sweet and bitter malts. Not very likable.

Dissapointed in this "average" beer. Looked great, though, brownish gold that caught the light well. Flat (it is British). Flavor light and no complexity. Paid too much for this bottle.

50 cL bottle. Pours deep hazzlenut brown with a minor orange glare and a small creamy light tan head. Fruity, malty and light metallic aroma. Smooth roasted malty and slight breadish flavoured. Light fruity note too. Medium sweet. Lingering caramel malt onto the back of the tongue leading into a smooth caramel and roasted malt finish with a subdued sweetness. Light roasted acidity into the far finish.
