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.

12oz bottle. Deep brown amber color, looks filtered and/or fined. Sweet dark fruit aroma. Dark malty taste, very smooth on the palate. Sandy hop balance to the rich chocolate malts. Never really realized that this was an Old Ale. To me the taste is of a true dark English Mild and a roasty Porter, mixing some of the best elements from both. Excellent session beer or sipper. Classic.

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.

12 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a small off-white head that disappears quickly. Aromas of caramel, dark fruit, yeasty banana, apple. Flavor is dark fruit, tart apple, caramel, but very muted. Maybe a touch of hops in the finish. Very watery. The aftertaste it leaves is much stronger than the beer itself. Not sure if this is an old or bad bottle or if it’s meant to be like this, but I’m left wondering where the flavor is.

This is the sixth beer in our June 11th Old Ale Blind Tasting. It finished in 7th place. Courtesy of CigarCityBrew.
Pours brown with half inch tan head. The aroma is weak and has the sense of thinly concocted cherry koolaid with some dustiness around the edges. I also get some licorice and faint roasted malts notes. The taste is thin and Porter like with some burnt malts and dark fruity esters. I also get twists coming from licorice, dates, raisins and a faint amount of pepper. Nice sessionable (for the style) tasting brew.
