Traquair Jacobite Ale

Bottle 33. Amber beer with a strange malt aroma, bit sour at the finish or it’s the spices?? bitter and roasted. Quite disapointed about it.

33 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA via Winnipeg. Deep black, cola-like colour. Sweet plumb aroma with raisin flavor, reminiscent of port. Sweet finish with a faint warming alcohol mellowness. Very nice.

A - Fruity, citrus, and spice A - Dark amber F - Sweet with a strong alcohol flavor P - A bit fizzy for an ale O - A bit strong...not terrible.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown beer with a small beige head. Strong spicy aroma has licourice and alcohol. Flavor is so rich with a bit sweetness, soft maltyness and quite bittery end. I like the saltyness very much. Body is nice and full. Maybe my favourite beer so far.

12 ounce bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar ($5.99). Pours a dark brown with beige head. Aroma of toffee, milk chocolate, brown sugar, spice. Lovely and delicate flavor of lightly roasted malts, milk chocolate, dark fruits and cherries, brown sugar. The coriander is there and more pronounced in the finish. Different, but an excellent brew.

Bottle at home. Dark brown with a small head. Aroma heavy malty (caramel, dark fruits, wood, spicy), light hoppy. Flavor heavy sweet, light bitter. Almost full body. Fine.

12 oz. bottle - dark brown with faint tan head; figs, spice, sugar and coriander; texture is thin and almost syrupy; coriander is very obvious; almost lovely, but a tad too much on the spice for my liking

Pours a burnt orange with a small ring for a head. Aroma is very odd and very different from any beer I’ve ever had. Fuzzy peaches, flowers, molasses, jube-jubes, spices, perfume, and alcohol. Very nice on the nose. Fuzzy peaches, licorice, jube0jubes, apples, cloves, cinnamon, flowers. Decent palate. Very good!
