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."

The aroma is sweet and malty with notes of smoke. The color is very dark brown and it has a small dense light brown head. The flavor is very sweet chocolate with underlying notes of malt, bread, and roasted malt. Great flavor - and great palate.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very dark, but not black - there’s a reddish tint in there somewhere. The head is pretty much non-exiisting and the level of carbonation is very low. Pleasant, spicy nose. Dry, malty and slightly bitter with some indefinable but very delicate spices in the aroma. Reminds me of some of the best Belgian trappists. And I just read, that a "Blair Ale" has been brewed in support of the Labour Party election campaign. Way to go - it worked.... 200405

Dark reddish brown. Spicy nose. Huge, malty and sweet body. Complex, and very tasty, but a bit too spicy for my liking, and still I prefer their regular House Ale.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a deep redish hue and diminished light tan head. Plum fruity aroma. Mild malt, caramel and minor liqourice note too. Flavour is roasted malt with chocolate smoothness and bitterness. Light bitter and liqourice like bite following. Growing overripe fruity plum notes which gives reminiscence of Belgian trappist brews like Westmalle, Rochefort and a bit of St Sixtus. Dry yeasty spiced finish with a lingering fruit note. Nice one.

The beer pours to a very deep garnet colored body with a very thick and tall chocolate milk foam colored head. The aroma is port wine, coriander, grain dust, blueberries. The flavor is chocolatey, oatmeal-like, peat, tobacco, and powdered sugar. The palate is rich, lightly smokey, creamy, good feeling.
