NG has one on their site - don't know anything more than that...http://noblegrape.ca/?beer=old-peculiar" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This dark old ale originates from Theakston’s brewery in North Yorkshire, England. Toffee and roast malt in the mouth; deep, bitter sweet finish with delicate hop underpinning. Peculiar has a certain warmth due to its higher alcohol content (5.7% alc./vol.). Serve at cellar temperature.

That was my FIRST kit ever - it's pretty good. Mine didn't come out tasting very similar, for a multitude of reasons but it was close in color and hop levels.

I think the hardest part is getting the ringwood to taste right.
