Peculier Assassin

◎ Appearance

Pours deep ruby-brown with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The colour sits at the darker end of the brown ale spectrum, suggesting substantial roasted malt contribution. Carbonation is moderate and even, supporting a creamy visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with dark cherry and treacle toffee, grounded by earthy roasted malt character. A bright secondary layer of mango, apricot and citrus cuts through the sweetness, adding lift and freshness to the bouquet. Subtle nuttiness and a hint of biscuity maltiness round out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and velvety, delivering caramel sweetness backed by substantial roasted malt. The mid-palate evolves with tropical stone fruit notes alongside a dry, resinous hop bitterness that builds gradually. Finishes dry with lingering resinous bitterness and a touch of nutty complexity that balances the initial sweetness.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with a persistent, resinous hop bitterness that dries the palate cleanly. The aftertaste carries echoes of dark fruit and subtle roasted character without heaviness.
