The heaviness of the complexity fuels the force behind the dart that hits the mark.

I'm a bit of an insomniac and have issues with falling asleep, so, I drink Sangria as a medicine to put me to sleep. Even that doesn't do the job well and all the time... especially if I have had a meal shortly prior to the Sangria. Sometimes, the sugar in it wakes me up at midnight too. But, as far as taste goes -- it is my favorite wine: Carbonated, natural and sugary. I don't drink anything else.

Theakston's Old Peculier Yorkshire Ale
Very complex and delicious malt, different from guiness but at least as complex with nice hoppy notes (fuggles).
The power of Old Peculier should never be under-estimated! A dark, strong beer Old Peculier is justifiably famous for its rich and complete character, its sheer strength – and for being a beer with a long history.
Short Notes (Cyclops definition)
See: Deep dark ruby
Smell: Fruity, mellow, warming
Taste: Rich, full-bodied, malty
Tasting Notes
The beer that made Masham famous!
A rich, dark, smooth-tasting beer with an unequalled flavour. Brewed using the traditional Fuggle hop, Old Peculier is our best known beer and has a large and enthusiastic following all over Britain and around the world.

Viking,
That sounds like a beer that I have to make. Thank you for the excellent post. I'll search the net for a recipe and make that the next beer I brew. Let you know how it turns out in 3 to six months.

A "cleaning of the fridge" pictorial DR (drinking report)
With dinner (leftover chili):
After dinner
later last night*:
*The cosmo mix was purchased as an experiment, they suck. But I like vodka and I was trying to get the misc. leftovers out of the fridge this weekend, so it was far game last night

I used to sell analysis systems to the maltsters of Yorkshire, so I got to sample a lot of product back in the late 80's. If you really like beer you should consider a real ales tour of Yorkshire. Real ales or cask conditioned beers have live yeast cultures in them and as a result do not travel well beyond 100 miles or so. They are definitely worth a trip.
A great plus is that Yorkshire is extremely scenic. Great viking ruins in York (Jorvik) itself, which is always a plus
. It's also where the Bronte sisters based Jane Eyre so you can try sell the trip to your wife on this aspect, rather than the fact that you plan to hit every pub on the road:http://www.realalepubs.co.uk/area.asp?aid=3

Viking,
It might surprise you what a diversity of taste one can get out of a home brew through the use of specialty grains. Right now I'm drinking a clone of Workie Ticket, a bitter from the Newcastle area. Not sure if it tastes like the original but with a nose of malt and vanilla with a bit of chocolate thrown in and a palate that starts with a powerful balance of malt and hops and slides into a truly nutty malt finish with strong hints of citrus this beer presents all the complexity one can hope for. From your description of Old Peculier I have the expectation that I will end with a beer that is equally complex but with a different balance of aromas and flavors.
I'm putting this on my beer to try list for those times when I'm out of Utah and can find a decient selection of beer but untill then I do what I can to sample the incredible diversity made possible by the combination of grain malts, hops, water and yeast.
Fortunately, my wife understands that wherever we go sampleing the wares of the local craft breweries is at the top of my list of things to do and when we get to England much of our eating/drinking will occur in small pups supplied by smallish local breweries.

I've got some more Rasputin, vodka, tequila (had a margarita with fajitas already), spiced rum.
I'm thinking something with some Southern Comfort though
EDIT: SoCo and Moxie. really interesting mix...
