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."

Dark brown with mahogeny tinge. Moderate head that dissappears really quick. Malty brown sugar aroma. Muted flavors. Brown sugar, dark fruit and nuttiness with slight earthy/herbalness and spice. No hops to speak of or write about. Mildly roasted with a slight peat/wood tinge. A little alcohol in the finish. I wanted to like this more; so I’m going to have to try this again.

Bottle from Utobeer. Dark chestnut in colour with a short lived tan head. Big malt aroma with plenty of dark fruit, molasses and spice. Mouth feel was vinous, almost oily. Flavours of caramel, a slight smoky woodiness, coriander, nutmeg, cinnamon and liquorice. Finish was slightly dry with some nuttiness and warming alcohol. Beautifully balanced.

Bottle. Deep brown with red tint. Lovely aromatic bouquet: musk, dandelion, wildflowers galore, witch’s herbs, and a thick slab of Black Forest cake hold the icing--all black cherries and chocolate and no fluff. Nice. Also, nose and mouth offer up Viennese pastry. Mouthfeel is thin in this bottle--too bad! Flavors are round, smooth. Sweet-tart, bold yet understated. More black forest cake and Viennese pastry. Loads of homemade mincemeat!! made with raisin, dates, allspice, walnut, cola, sasparilla, and nutmeg. Totally pleasant, fulfilling brew. Yum!

Pours very dark, verly light brown head. Smells of licorice and soil. You can really taste the coriander. Wonderful beer.
