Old Peculier
Rating: 6 out of 10
I'm pretty sure I've had this one before but I have misplaced my first hundred reviews so I tried it again. Beer temp. 49.8 F - 10.1 C. Pours dark amber brown with med. tan head that faded quickly. Molasses aroma with coffee undertones. First taste has pleasant malts and very light hops. Malts have very light caramel taste with molasses. I would classify this as a dark brown ale which I sometimes call "stout light," but this is even quite good to my taste. There is a slight sweetness to it and the taste doesn't linger overly long. The taste works the back of the tongue and the carbonation faded quickly. John has said that the true test of a beer is the second one and this may prove him right. Not quite as strong or complex as Turbodog but it's quite enjoyable. The mildness is surprising as the color is so deep.
At $1.99 each it is good for the rotation when you want something with depth of malts but not as deep as a stout. I give it a good solid 6. Repeatability, wish I had some more now.
