This is a strong ale with a high hopping rate that is subdued by the addition of molasses, which adds that distinct ‘Old Peculiar’ character. This beer is dark amber in color with a medium to full body, and malty with a hop bitterness that is apparent but not aggressive. Some sweetness will be apparent from the molasses, and flavor and aroma will be assertive.

Commercial example: Old Peculiar
