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."

Pours a syrupy deep amber/brown with a thin head. Spicey and herbal aroma, with lots of thick sweet caramel malts, nutty and hints of chocolate. Piney flavor with more herbs and spice, thick malts, moslty sweet with an herbal/piney hop bitterness. Kind of like a spiced barleywine. Very nice.

Bottle, at Haket, Göteborg. Deep reddish brown colour, creamy head. Herbal aroma, quite nice. Sweetish and herbal flavour, sourish in the finish. Not bad, but is it worth the price? Traquair House Ale is better!

Nice brown color is a bit ruddy with relatively no head. Aroma is clean and spicy with malt and chocolate present. Taste is a nice blend of spices with coriander standing out, plum, chocolate, coffee, and raison flavors. Complex and enjoyable ale. Too bad it’s $4.99/bottle at the local Co-Op...

Malt,spice aroma, with hints of licorice and tea, light,spicey peppery taste, slightly sweet at first ,drying out in the finish. Corriander and alcohol just barely detectable. Surprisingly light,very refreshing,except for the 8% you could drink a lot of these

330 ml bottle. Very dark brown, hints of gray. Seemingly hazy, but it is difficult to tell in this light. Very little head, only some white islands the edges. Complex spice aroma. Plummy, grainy, raisiny aroma with some complex alcohols. Biscuits. Dark chocolate and cocoa powder at first. Light sourish in the mouth. Quite a bit of chocolate flavours combined with dried fruits. Light-bodied with a powdery texture. Some oxidized notes. Little hop aroma to be found, but a distinct hop bitterness throughout. Finishes very drying.

Pours a cola like dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma was dominated by alcohol, but the flavor was not as hot. Cocoa, malt, and a velvet texture made this a very nice brew.
