Commercial Description:
Mainly available filtered in bottles, though part of the production goes unfiltered into cask.
The production of Traquair House Ale consists of an infusion mash, after which the wort is drawn off and boiled with the hops. The wort is cooled and pitched with bottom fermenting yeast under controlled temperature. It is then fermented in oak over a period of seven days. The beer is transferred into cold storage tanks or barrels and matured over a period of weeks. After maturation the beer is filtered prior to packing.

An oaky beer, but balnced by nutty maltiness. The finish is acidic and makes you want to keep drinking more. A great beer. Scotland will continue to be a place to watch as their beers are finally showing up more and more here in the sates.

2 year old bottle. I’m not really a fan of English ales but this one surprised me. A lot of flavors in here, with malts, dark fruit, oak, and maybe some sweet chocolate or caramel. Well done and more complex than I expected.

Bottle, 33 cl - Dark orange brown colored beer with a creamy cream colored head. Aroma is dominated by overripe fruit, dried fruit and spices such as cloves. Flavor is sweet woody with notes of vanilla, caramel and sherry. Well balanced with a good body and dry end.

Light aroma of sweet malt, caramel and some floral hops. Pours a very dark brown with ruby highlights and a thin khaki head that soon dissipates. Flavor of roasted barley, sweet malt, finishes with a chocolate bitterness. Medium carbonation, robust. Little aftertaste. Nice.

Pours brown with red highlights and a thin off white head. Nose has substantial dark fruit with dark treacle-like malt. Palate translates well, with the addition of a slight woody character, Finishes with significant licorice spice.

Thin orange-brown pour with a red tint. Thin light tan head. Creamy caramel malt aroma. Hint of spice. Slightly sweet start. Toasted malt flavor, fades to a bitter finish. Creamy scotch like flavor. Spicy...maybe wasabi? Thin, but smooth and easy to drink.

Un ale di colore marrone scuro,con schiuma biancastra che aderisce lievemente al bicchiere.Aroma dolce di malto e caramello.Il sapore è di malto,liquirizia e un pò affumicato.Per una birra così l’alcool si percepisce appena.Discreta,e comunque la meno interessante,se vogliamo definirla così,tra le birra di Traquair
