Old Peculier is a beautiful, yet very simple beer, brewed using a very generous blend of finest pale, crystal and roasted barley with two bitter hops combined with the majestic and noble ‘Fuggle’ hop to produce a beer of awesome full-bodied flavour with subtle cherry and rich fruit overtones.

Bottle. Brown sugar, toasty nutty malt, and very light chocolate aroma. Clear deep chestnut with a large beige head. Toasty malt, fruity sweet flavor, and a mild bitter hoppy finish. Medium body, soft carbonation.

12 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 1/27/2012. Pours crystal clear dark reddish brown color with a 1 finger dense cream colored head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big caramel, raisin, fig, banana, molasses, toast, chocolate, pepper, clove, brown bread, floral, and spicy yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of malt and fruity notes with moderate spicy esters. Taste of caramel, raisin, fig, molasses, light banana, toast, chocolate, pepper, clove, brown bread, floral, and spicy yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of caramel, dark fruits, toast, molasses, chocolate, bread, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity of malt and fruity/spicy flavors; with a great balance of malt/fruitiness and no cloying sweetness present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and fairly slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an excellent old ale. Nice complexity and balance of flavors; and very smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle from Tesco; dark brown pour with tan head, decent malt aroma, great malt profile quite fruity in a dried fruit sort of way. Warming alcohol, delightful an absolute classic.

Bottle from Sainsburys, Lee, SE London - Dark brown/black in colour with a small off white/beige head. Aroma taste is a mix of dark fruits and sweet caramel malt with good sweet/bitter balance. Pretty decent overall.

Dark ale with a sweetness and no shortage of flavour. Its roasted malts are light and there’s some toffee notes too, but its light texture also makes this a possible session ale. Next to no head.

Flaske delt med skibsreder Ovesen under garasjebrygging jan-13: aroma som virkelig inviterer! Nydelig, litt vinøs smak med en krydret fruktighet. Nam, nam - en virkelig klassiker og et eksempel til etterfølgelse.
