Commercial Description:
The famous Bear Gates guarding the approach to Traquair House, near Pebbles, have been closed since 1745 - when the last person to pass through them was Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Now, 250 years later, the ancient Traquair Brew House celebrates the Jacobite cause by producing this potent spiced ale to a traditional fine recipe. Sip slowly and remember the old toast to the "King O'er the Water."

Bottle. Dark brownish-red color, sparse tan head. Rich toasty malts, spicy with the coriander present but not overboard, light peat presence. Great taste, very Scottish, a wave of caramel malts over moderate coriander presence, just enough to add spice to the heavy malts. Will be picking this one up regularly.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a reddish hue and a thin biege head. Aroma is spicey and mildy sweet. Coriander and different spices on the tongue, along with dark fruits. The beer also had a nice full and chewy mouthfeel. This was definately a great beer.

Almost black brown with a touch of amber. Just a streak of lacing, no head at all. Aromas of raisons, coffee, corriander, tamarind. Lightly carbonated. Darkly malty, but not too sweet. Moderately spicy, fig, coffee, cocoa,

The Jacobite was a very dark wood brown pour. Small foam almond head. Like a spicy root beer although more complex and more character. Nice malt quality, dark fruits but on the low down. Smooth with the spiciness subdued and the ABV just right. Worth a try for sure.

The experience starts with a light root beer color pour and a wonderful, nostalgic aroma that reminds me of old time spice stick candy and bazooka bubble gum. There is something else even more telling in there that remains just out of my grasp so I must try again. The flavor was surprisingly simple, a malty sweet flavor without any unpleasantness.
